What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and provide a smoother, more personalised experience. Cookies can be session-based (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (retained for a specified duration).
Similar technologies, such as local storage tokens and web beacons, may also be used. References to "cookies" in this policy include these similar technologies.
