### Website Cookie Usage and Your Privacy Options

Websites often rely on various cookies to ensure their proper functioning. These essential cookies are crucial for tasks such as establishing user privacy preferences, facilitating logins, and managing form submissions. Although users can choose to block or receive alerts about these cookies via their browser settings, doing so may impair certain functionalities of the website. It's important to note that these particular cookies do not store any information that can personally identify users.

Enhanced functionality and personalization on websites are made possible by certain cookies set either by the website itself or by third-party providers whose services are integrated into the site. Without these cookies, some or all of these enhanced features may not operate correctly. For users who value privacy, options to avoid sharing personal information with advertisers and social media companies are available. Users can manage this preference with a simple toggle switch, with further information available in the privacy notice.

Performance cookies play a vital role in helping web administrators measure and improve their site's performance. These cookies collect aggregated, anonymous data on site visits and traffic sources, enabling website owners to discern the most and least popular pages and understand visitor movement. Opting out of these cookies means losing valuable insights into site performance and visitor habits.

Social media cookies are designed to enable content sharing across social networks. These cookies can track users' browsing activity across different websites, creating profiles based on interests that may influence the content and advertisements seen on other websites. Blocking these cookies can limit the usability and visibility of social sharing tools.

Advertising partners may also set certain cookies through a website. These cookies are used to develop profiles based on user interests and deliver relevant advertisements on other sites. While these cookies do not directly store personal information, they identify browsers and internet devices uniquely. Users who choose to reject these cookies will experience fewer targeted ads.
