5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

5.1 Cookie Consent

When you first visit our website, you'll see a cookie consent banner with two options:

• Accept: Enable analytics and marketing cookies (necessary cookies are always enabled)
• Reject: Only allow essential cookies (analytics and marketing cookies will be disabled)

For more granular control, you can access detailed cookie settings by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in our website footer. This will open a settings panel where you can toggle analytics cookies on or off individually.

Your preferences are saved and will be remembered for future visits. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in our footer.

Google Consent Mode V2: We implement Google Consent Mode V2, which means that even if you reject analytics cookies, Google Analytics may use behavioral modeling to estimate conversions without storing personal data. This helps us understand website performance while respecting your privacy choices.

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

• View what cookies are stored and delete them individually
• Block third-party cookies
• Block all cookies from specific websites
• Block all cookies from being set
• Delete all cookies when you close your browser

5.3 Browser-Specific Instructions

5.4 Opt-Out Tools

You can also use these opt-out tools:

• Google Analytics Opt-out: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data across all websites

Note: The most effective way to control cookies on our website is through our cookie consent banner, which gives you granular control over cookie categories.

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies

Please note that disabling certain cookies may impact your experience on our website:

• Essential Cookies: These cannot be disabled as they are necessary for the website to function. Disabling them through browser settings may prevent core features from working.
• Functional Cookies: If disabled, you may need to reconfigure preferences (such as sidebar state) each time you visit.
• Analytics Cookies: If disabled, we won't be able to collect detailed usage statistics to improve our website. However, Google Analytics may still use behavioral modeling to estimate conversions without storing personal data.

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Currently, there is no industry standard for how to respond to DNT signals. We do not currently respond to DNT signals, but we respect your cookie preferences as set through our cookie consent tool.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on our website.
