1. What are cookies?

   Cookies are small text files that websites send to your device when you visit them. They are stored locally and sent back to the same website on your next visit, allowing the Site to remember your actions and preferences over time.
2. Cookies Used on This Site
   This section covers only cookies and similar technologies placed on your device. It is distinct from the server-level browsing data (IP address, access timestamps, etc.) described in the Privacy Policy, which is collected independently of any cookie and governed by that document. The retention periods stated below apply exclusively to cookies.

   Analytical cookies — third party (consent required) - we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) by Google LLC. GA4 does not use the legacy anonymizeIp function, deprecated by Google in 2023. Data is transmitted to Google LLC (USA) under a Data Processing Agreement, with the EU–US Data Privacy Framework as the applicable transfer mechanism.
   
   Social media cookies — third party (consent required) - may be set by Facebook and Instagram (Meta Platforms) when you interact with social sharing buttons. If you decline consent, the social buttons remain visible as static links but no tracking cookie is installed.
