1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They serve a range of purposes: some are essential for the website to function, while others help us understand how visitors interact with our content so that we can improve the experience over time.

We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioural profiling, or tracking across third-party websites.
