SECTION 1
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — such as your language preference or whether you have already seen our cookie notice.
Cookies themselves do not contain personally identifying information, though in some cases they can be linked to information you have shared with us. They are a standard and widely used feature of virtually all websites.
We use cookies to make our site function correctly, to understand how visitors use it, and to remember choices you have made. You are in control of which optional cookies are active.
SECTION 2
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
ALWAYS ACTIVE
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as submitting a form or setting your cookie preferences.
EXAMPLES
- Session management and security tokens
- Cookie consent preference storage
- Basic site navigation functionality
Analytics Cookies
OPTIONAL
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our site — which pages are visited most, where visitors arrive from, and how long they spend on each section. This helps us improve the experience over time.
EXAMPLES
- Page view and session duration tracking
- Traffic source attribution
- Device and browser type logging
Marketing Cookies
OPTIONAL
Marketing cookies may be set by third-party advertising services to build a profile of your interests. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
EXAMPLES
- Advertising platform identifiers
- Retargeting and remarketing tags
- Conversion tracking pixels
Preference Cookies
OPTIONAL
These cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made in the past, such as your preferred language or region, so that we can provide a more personalized experience on your next visit.
EXAMPLES
- Language and region settings
- Display preferences and layout choices
- Previously viewed content markers
SECTION 3
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are placed by third-party services rather than by us directly. These services may include:
- Google Analytics — for site usage measurement and visitor reporting
- Google Maps — for the interactive location map embedded on our contact section
- Social media platforms — if you arrive via a social link, their tracking may apply
- Advertising networks — if marketing cookies are enabled, these partners may set their own cookies
Each third-party service operates under its own privacy and cookie policy. We encourage you to review those policies directly if you have concerns about how those services handle data.
SECTION 4
How Long Do Cookies Last?
Session Cookies
These are temporary and are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser. They exist only to maintain continuity during a single visit.
Persistent Cookies
These remain on your device between visits until their set expiry date or until you delete them manually. Durations vary by purpose:
- Cookie consent preferences — up to 12 months
- Analytics identifiers — typically 13 months (Google Analytics default)
- Marketing cookies — typically 30–90 days
- Preference settings — up to 12 months
