Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to site owners. Cookies serve various purposes, such as remembering your preferences on a site (e.g., language preference), counting the number of different visitors, measuring the entirety of a visitor’s visit, or keeping track of items in a shopping cart.

Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the provision of services as explicitly requested by you, the visitor. Without these cookies, services like session management after logging in would not function correctly.

Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor; the information collected is aggregated and used to improve the performance of the website.

Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you’ve made to text size, font changes, and other customizable aspects of the web pages.
