What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit — such as your preferences, login state, or how you navigate between pages.
Cookies make browsing smoother and allow website owners to understand how their site is being used. They do not contain viruses, cannot access your personal files, and cannot identify you by name on their own.

- Performance improvements — identifying slow pages, broken links, and technical issues
- User experience — remembering preferences so you don't have to re-enter them each visit
We only use cookies where they add real value. We do not use them to profile you, sell data, or serve unrelated advertising.
