### Website Functionality Relies Heavily on Cookies, Users Advised

Web cookies that are crucial for websites to operate properly cannot be disabled through system settings. These essential cookies are generally deployed in response to user actions that request services, such as managing privacy settings, logging into accounts, or completing online forms. Although users can configure their browsers to block or alert them about these cookies, doing so may hinder certain parts of the website from functioning efficiently.

These indispensable cookies also play a vital role in enabling websites to offer enhanced features and personalized experiences. They may be installed by the website itself or by third-party service providers whose tools are embedded within the site. Disabling these cookies could result in some or all of these features not working as intended.

Furthermore, users have the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of their personal information for targeted advertising. A simple toggle switch allows for opting out, and additional information regarding consumer rights in the United States can be found in the website’s privacy notice.

Analytics cookies allow website operators to gauge site performance by counting visits and tracking traffic sources. This data helps determine which pages are the most or least popular and how visitors navigate the site. Since the information gathered by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous, disabling them would impede the website’s ability to track visits and performance metrics.

Advertising cookies, which may be set via the website by ad partners, are used to generate a profile of user interests and display relevant advertisements on other sites. Although these cookies do not store directly identifiable personal information, they retain data that uniquely identifies a user's browser and device. Even if blocked, users will still encounter ads, though these may be less tailored to their interests.

Finally, social media cookies are placed by various platforms to allow users to share content with their networks. These cookies can track users' browsing behavior across different sites and compile a profile of their interests. Opting out of these cookies may affect the content and messages a user sees on other websites and could disable social sharing tools.
