1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored directly on your computer, tablet, or mobile device by your web browser when you visit websites. They act as a memory log, allowing the site to recognize your browser, maintain security states, and remember your display preferences over time. Cookies can be "Session Cookies" (which are automatically deleted when you close your web browser) or "Persistent Cookies" (which remain on your device until they expire or are manually deleted).

Any cookies utilized on our domain serve direct, functional purposes to maintain secure sessions and respect your explicit privacy choices.
