Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the owners of the site.

2. How We Use Cookies

2.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly, including storing your cookie consent preferences. We store this preference in local storage under cookie_consent.

2.2 Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics only after explicit “Accept All” consent and only in regions where this flow is currently allowed. Without consent, analytics cookies are not loaded.

2.3 Advertising Cookies

We load Google AdSense only after explicit “Accept All” consent, only when ad delivery is enabled, and only in regions where this flow is currently allowed. If ads are not enabled in configuration, no AdSense script is loaded.

3. Managing Cookies

• Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or accept cookies. Check your browser's help section for instructions.
• Google Ad Settings: Opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings.
• NAI Opt-Out: optout.networkadvertising.org
• DAA Opt-Out: optout.aboutads.info

4. Your Consent

When you first visit our Site, you are presented with a consent banner. By clicking “Accept All,” you allow analytics and advertising scripts where permitted. By clicking “Essential Only,” non-essential scripts remain blocked. You can reset your choice by clearing browser storage and revisiting the Site.

For visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, analytics and advertising scripts remain blocked until an approved CMP workflow is implemented. We use a lightweight country lookup API to determine regional handling. If region detection fails or times out, we default to blocking non-essential scripts (fail-closed).

5. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
