    1. What Are Cookies?

    Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They help the site remember your preferences, support essential functionality, and provide analytics about how the site is used.

    2. How We Use Cookies

    We use cookies for several purposes, including:

    • Essential cookies: Required for core site functionality (sessions, security, load balancing). These cookies cannot be disabled if you want to use essential features.
    • Analytics cookies: Used to understand visitor behaviour and improve performance. We typically use tools such as Google Analytics or similar services operating as our processors.
    • Preference cookies: Remember your choices such as language, theme (including your dark/black theme preference), and other UI settings.

    3. Managing Cookies

    When you first visit our site, you'll see a cookie banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time via that banner or through your browser settings.

    Disabling cookies may limit some functionality — for example, your saved theme or language preferences might not persist between visits.

    4. Third-Party Cookies

    Some cookies used on our site are set by third-party services (for example, embedded videos, analytics providers, or social widgets). These cookies are governed by the third party's own privacy policies and controls, which we do not control. We recommend reviewing those providers' policies if you have concerns about their cookies.
