1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the website's owners. Cookies may be “persistent” (they remain on your device until deleted) or “session” cookies (they expire when you close your browser).
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several reasons, which we classify into the following categories:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually only set in response to actions you take, such as setting your language preference or theme (dark/light mode).
- Analytics Cookies: We use Vercel Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregated data on how visitors interact with our website. This helps us understand page performance and improve user experience. No personally identifiable information is captured.
- Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense & DoubleClick DART): We serve advertisements through Google AdSense. Google uses DART cookies to display ads based on your prior visits to our site and other websites on the internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- Preference Cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your selected language or UI theme) and provide enhanced, personalised features.
3. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the website and deliver advertisements on and through the website. These third parties may include:
