1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, improve the user experience, and provide information to the website owner.
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that appear on the page. Cookies can be temporary (session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them manually).

4. Cookie Consent

Your consent preference is stored in your browser using a local storage entry so that the banner does not appear on every subsequent visit. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or cookies, which will cause the consent banner to reappear on your next visit.
