2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your browser or device when you visit. They let the website remember things such as your settings, or recognize your browser when you return.
Websites can also use similar technologies that work in comparable ways:
- Local storage: data saved in your browser, often used to remember settings.
- Tags and scripts: small pieces of code that load features or measure how a website is used.
- Pixels or web beacons: tiny images or code that record when a page or email is viewed.
In this policy, "cookies" covers all of these.
First-party cookies are stored under the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are stored under another company's web address.

- Analytics: help us understand, in aggregate, how visitors find and use the Website, such as which pages are viewed, how visitors arrived and whether a form was sent or a phone number was clicked. We use Google Analytics for this.
