1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and to provide reporting information. "Similar technologies" such as localStorage work in a comparable way and are covered by this policy.
2. How we use cookies
We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies to keep the site running and to understand how visitors use it. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or sell your data.

Strictly necessary
These are required for the site to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually only set in response to actions you take such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.
