Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide reporting information to webmasters and advertising networks.

In addition to standard HTTP cookies, modern web applications utilize HTML5 Local Storage (localStorage). Local storage allows web pages to store non-sensitive preference data directly within your web browser without transmitting it across the internet with every server request.

We classify the storage mechanisms used on this site into the following categories:

• Strictly Necessary / Functional Storage: Essential for the site to function as expected. These include remembering your chosen visual theme (light, dark, or system preference) and recording your consent preferences.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies: Used to understand how visitors interact with the website, identify broken pages, and optimize site loading speed.
