### Website Functionality and User Experience Tied to Cookie Settings
Website functionality and user experience are heavily influenced by cookie settings, which users can adjust via their browser settings. Notifications, for instance, can be turned off at any time.
Some cookies are essential for the website’s operation and cannot be deactivated within the system. Typically, these cookies are set following user actions, such as setting privacy preferences, logging in, or completing forms. While users can block or be alerted about these essential cookies through their browser settings, doing so may impair some parts of the website, potentially rendering them non-functional. Notably, these cookies do not retain any personally identifiable information.
Additionally, certain cookies might be established by advertising partners via the site. These cookies are utilized by these companies to construct profiles based on users' interests, subsequently displaying relevant advertisements on different platforms. Although they do not store direct personal information, they depend on the unique identification of a user’s browser and hardware. Refusing these cookies leads to experiencing less targeted advertisements.
Furthermore, performance-related cookies enable the website to count visits and analyze traffic sources. These metrics are vital for measuring and enhancing the site's performance. They provide insight into which pages are popular and how users navigate the site. As the information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous, disabling them prevents the site from tracking visits and monitoring performance metrics.
