### Website Cookie Policy Clarified for Users

When you visit our website, we use cookies to gather information about your visit. These cookies collect data that might pertain to you, your preferences, or your device, primarily to ensure that the website functions as expected and to provide a customized browsing experience. You have the option to block certain types of cookies, but doing so may affect the quality of your experience and the availability of some services. It is important to note that our First Party Strictly Necessary Cookies, which are essential for the website's operation, cannot be disabled.

Our essential cookies are deployed to ensure features like the cookie banner, account logins, and redirects operate seamlessly. These cookies are fundamental for actions such as setting privacy preferences, logging in, or completing forms. While you can configure your browser to block or notify you about these cookies, disabling them may result in parts of the website not functioning properly. These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you have the prerogative to opt out of the sale of your personal information to third parties. This opt-out can be managed using a toggle switch provided on our website. By opting out, you will no longer receive personalized advertisements, and your personal data will not be shared with third parties. If you have browser privacy controls enabled, we recognize this as a valid opt-out request, which means your web activities will not be tracked, consequently affecting ad personalization.

Our advertising partners may set cookies through our site to build a profile based on your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. These cookies are anonymous and do not store directly personal information but rely on unique identification of your browser and internet device. If disabled, you will see less targeted advertising.

Additionally, cookies established by social media services on our website facilitate content sharing with your social networks. However, they can also track your online activity and build an interest profile, impacting the content you see on other sites. Disabling these cookies may prevent you from using these sharing tools.

Lastly, performance cookies enable us to count visits and traffic sources, helping us evaluate and enhance our website's performance. These cookies aggregate anonymous data, revealing which pages are most and least popular and how visitors navigate the site. Without these cookies, our ability to monitor and improve site performance is restricted.
