Cookie Policy

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files a website stores on or reads from a browser or device. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, tags, scripts, and software-development tools that can recognize a browser or device or record certain interactions.

Cookies may be session cookies, which generally expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain until they expire or are deleted. They may also be first-party, set by the Site, or third-party, set by another service provider.

2. Technologies We May Use

Strictly necessary, content-delivery, and security technologies

These technologies may support core Site functions, help deliver pages and forms, maintain security, prevent abuse, balance traffic, or remember choices needed to complete a request. Our public homepage did not set a first-party cookie during our review, but hosting, security, and third-party content-delivery services may use security technologies when a resource is requested.

Preference technologies

If enabled, these technologies remember choices such as display or form preferences so the Site can provide a more consistent experience.

Analytics technologies

As of the effective date, we do not intentionally use audience-measurement analytics cookies on the public-facing Site. Our hosting and security systems may still create ordinary server logs or collect limited technical data needed to deliver, protect, and troubleshoot the Site.

Advertising technologies

As of the effective date, we do not intentionally use advertising cookies, cross-context behavioral advertising, or targeted-advertising trackers on the Site.

3. Current Third-Party Features

Some Site pages currently request content or software from third parties. These requests can disclose technical information such as your IP address, browser information, and the page requesting the resource. Depending on the page and the provider, the following may occur:

• Pexels and Cloudflare. A homepage image is delivered from Pexels infrastructure. Its security and content-delivery systems may set cookies such as __cf_bm and _cfuvid to manage automated traffic, security, and service delivery.
• YouTube. Certain pages may load the YouTube iframe application programming interface or video-related resources. Google or YouTube may set or read cookies or similar identifiers, including security, preference, and video-service identifiers.
• Google Maps and Google Fonts. Certain pages may load map or font resources from Google. Google may receive technical request data and may use cookies or similar technologies in connection with those services.

Third-party cookies and retention periods are controlled by the relevant provider and can change independently of this Site. Their use of information is governed by their own policies. Additional third-party features such as scheduling, spam prevention, chat, or social-media content may be added in the future; we will update this policy and request consent where legally required before activating nonessential technologies.

4. Your Choices

Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through browser settings. Blocking all cookies may cause some Site features or forms to work incorrectly. For help, review the privacy or cookie settings in your browser.

Some browsers and extensions transmit a universal opt-out signal, such as Global Privacy Control. Because we do not currently use personal information for sale, sharing, or targeted advertising as those terms are defined by applicable U.S. state privacy laws, such a signal may not change the Site's current operation. If our practices change and applicable law requires recognition of a valid signal, we will process it as required.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our technology, vendors, or legal obligations change. The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
