What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, mobile) that store settings and usage data. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, SDKs, and local storage. They help our sites function, remember your preferences, improve performance, and support security and marketing.
How we use cookies

understand site usage and improve performance;
show relevant content and measure marketing (where you consent).
Your choices
On your first visit, you'll see a banner explaining our use of cookies with options to Accept all, Reject non-essential, or Manage your preferences. You can change your choices anytime. You can also control cookies in your browser settings (details below). Essential cookies can't be switched off because the site won't work properly without them.
Types of cookies we use
Strictly necessary (essential): Required for core functionality and security (e.g., session IDs, load balancing, fraud prevention, cookie-consent storage, checkout). These are always on.
Functional (preferences): Remember settings such as language, region, and saved choices (e.g., login remember-me).
Analytics (performance): Help us understand how visitors use the site (e.g., pages viewed, navigation paths, time on page) so we can improve usability and content.
Advertising/measurement (targeting): Used to deliver and measure relevant ads on our sites and elsewhere, and to limit repetition. These only run if you consent.
Examples of services that may set cookies/pixels on our sites
Payments & security: Stripe (checkout, fraud prevention).
Analytics & tag management: Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager.
Email & messaging: SendGrid (delivery diagnostics for transactional emails).
Advertising/measurement (only with consent): Google Ads/Conversion, Meta Pixel (Facebook/Instagram), TikTok Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag.
