Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our site.
These cookies are strictly functional or analytical. We do not use cookies for targeted advertising or tracking across other websites. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time.
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services such as Google Analytics to monitor website traffic and user behavior. These services may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited. They operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but strive to use industry-standard practices to safeguard your data.
