**Website Cookies Essential for Functionality and User Experience**

Website cookies play a crucial role in ensuring that websites operate smoothly. These indispensable cookies are activated in response to specific user actions, such as logging in, setting privacy preferences, or filling out forms. Although users can adjust their browser settings to block these cookies or alert them about their presence, it's important to note that doing so may result in parts of the website not functioning properly. These cookies do not hold any personally identifiable information.

In addition to the essential cookies, there are others that enhance website functionality and personalization. These may be created by the website itself or by third-party providers whose services are integrated into the site. Users who choose not to enable these cookies might experience limited functionality or personalization.

We value our users and offer the option to opt-out of sharing personal information with advertisers and social media companies across our platforms, services, businesses, and devices. Users can use a toggle switch to opt-out, with more information available in our privacy notice.

Another category of cookies helps websites measure and improve performance by counting visits and tracking traffic sources. These cookies provide aggregated, anonymous data about which pages are popular and how visitors navigate the site. Disabling these cookies means that website administrators will be unable to monitor site performance effectively.

Social media cookies allow users to share website content with their networks. These cookies can track browser activity across different sites and build a profile of users' interests, affecting the content and messages displayed on other websites. Without these cookies, usage or visibility of sharing tools may be limited.

Lastly, advertising cookies can be set by the website's advertising partners to create interest profiles and show relevant ads on other sites. These cookies do not store direct personal information but rely on unique identification of the browser and internet device. If disabled, users may see less targeted advertising.
