2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies.
3. Types of Cookies We Use

5. Managing Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information.
5.1 Browser Controls
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Here's how to do it in popular browsers:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
5.2 Opt-Out of Analytics
To opt-out of Google Analytics tracking, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. We currently do not respond to "Do Not Track" signals because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret these signals.
7. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update our Cookie Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Cookie Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy.
