- Essential cookies — required for the basic operation and security of the Website.
- Analytics cookies — help us measure traffic and usage patterns (e.g., via third-party analytics tools).

Opting out: You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. You may also opt out of many third-party analytics and advertising cookies via tools such as the Network Advertising Initiative or your browser's "Do Not Track" settings.
