When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site.

  • View what cookies are stored and delete them individually

Local Storage

In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to maintain certain preferences and temporary data. Local storage serves similar purposes to cookies but typically stores larger amounts of data that persist until explicitly cleared.

We use local storage for:

  • Temporarily storing form data to enhance user experience
  • Maintaining service selection between pages
  • Storing cookie consent preferences as a backup

You can clear local storage through your browser's developer tools or by clearing all browsing data.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature that signals websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Our website currently does not respond to "Do Not Track" signals, as there is no standard interpretation or practice for these signals.

Cookie Lifespan

Cookies may be either session cookies or persistent cookies:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device until they expire or you delete them

We use both types depending on the purpose of the cookie.

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, our operations, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.
