Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device — such as a computer, tablet, or mobile phone — when you visit a webpage. They allow the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, like your preferences or how you navigate through different pages.
Cookies are widely used across the internet to help websites function properly, improve the user experience, and gather basic information about how visitors interact with the site. They generally do not contain personally identifying information on their own.

- Embedded content such as maps, videos, or social media elements
- Website functionality providers that support specific features on the site
We encourage you to review the cookie practices of any third-party services you interact with online to understand how their cookies operate.
