Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are crucial for the operation of the website. They enable basic features such as page navigation, secure access to areas of the website, and the ability to fill out forms.

This data helps us understand user behavior so we can improve our website's functionality and content.

Functional cookies enhance the performance and functionality of our website but are not essential for its use. These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your language preference or login detail) and to provide enhanced personal features. For instance, if you fill out a form on our site, a functional cookie might be placed to remember that information for future visits.Targeting Cookies
Targeting cookies, also known as advertising cookies, are used to deliver advertisements relevant to you and your interests. These cookies are designed to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by third-party advertising networks to track users across websites.How to Manage Cookies
