Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve performance, and to provide information to the site owner. Cookies may be “session” cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them.

We also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage, which function in much the same way. In this policy, we refer to all of these collectively as “cookies.”

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to operate and secure the Site, to understand how visitors use it so we can improve it, to remember your preferences, and — where applicable — to measure and display relevant advertising. The categories below summarize how cookies are used on our Site.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

The specific cookies set may vary depending on the pages you visit and the features you use.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these cookies, and we recommend reviewing each provider’s own privacy and cookie policies:

• Google Analytics & Google Ads / AdSense — analytics and advertising. See Google’s cookie policy and Google Privacy Policy.
• YouTube — embedded videos on some pages may set cookies. See Google/YouTube Privacy Policy.
• Google Maps — embedded maps may set cookies for map functionality.
• WhatsApp / Meta — our chat widget may set cookies. See the WhatsApp Privacy Policy.

If you reach our Site through a social platform’s “share” link, that platform may also set its own cookies, governed by its respective policy.

5. Managing Your Cookies

You have several ways to control or limit cookies:

Browser settings

Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of the Site to stop working.

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Advertising opt-outs

• Personalized Google ads: Google Ad Settings
• Industry opt-out (US): Digital Advertising Alliance and Network Advertising Initiative
• EU/UK: Your Online Choices

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no common industry standard for how to respond to these signals, our Site does not currently respond to them differently.

6. Your Consent

By continuing to use our Site, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy, except for those that are strictly necessary, which do not require consent. Where required by law, we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time using the browser controls and opt-out tools above.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, the cookies we use, or applicable law. When we make changes, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
