Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, which can both make it easier to visit the site again and make the site more useful to you.

How we use cookies

We believe in minimal cookie usage and privacy by design. We use two first-party cookies:

• •
  Session cookie (connect.sid): This temporary first-party cookie supports the website session during your visit.
• •
  Preference cookie (cookie_consent): This is set when you choose Continue or Remember my choice on the cookie banner so we can remember that decision on future visits.

We do not use analytics cookies, marketing cookies, advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party cookies. We only use a temporary session cookie and a first-party preference cookie to remember your banner choice.

The cookies we use

Website usage information

While we don't use tracking cookies, our system does collect basic usage information about this website for internal purposes only. This includes:

• •
  Page visits and navigation patterns
• •
  Language preferences selected by visitors
• •
  Page loading performance metrics

This information is collected server-side, stored securely, and used exclusively for internal website improvement purposes. It is not shared with third parties or used for advertising.

Managing cookies

We only use a temporary session cookie and the cookie_consent preference cookie. There are no analytics or advertising cookies to manage.

The connect.sid cookie supports the website session during your visit. The cookie_consent cookie is used to remember whether you chose Continue or Remember my choice on the public website banner.

If you browse the public website without interacting with the cookie banner, the cookie_consent cookie is not set. Once you choose Continue or Remember my choice, we store that preference for 180 days so we can respect it on later visits.

Third-party cookies and tracking

We do not use any third-party cookies, tracking pixels, analytics services (like Google Analytics), or external tracking tools.

We believe in privacy by design and do not participate in cross-site tracking, advertising networks, or data sharing with external parties.

Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies.
