Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 12 March 2026
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help the site remember information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have already seen a consent notice — so that your next visit can be a little smoother.
Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other files on your device. The data stored in them is limited to what the website itself placed there.
