What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies — pixels, tags, web beacons, local storage, and session-replay scripts — work in comparable ways. In this notice, “cookies” refers to all of them.
We use cookies to make the site work, to understand how visitors use it, and to measure and improve our advertising. Some are set by us; others are set by third-party providers whose tools we use, including Google, Meta, and Microsoft.
Your choices
You can change your preferences at any time. Use
Manage Cookie Preferences to reopen the consent panel and accept or decline each category below, except Essential cookies, which are always on because the site cannot function without them.
We also honor recognized browser opt-out signals, including Global Privacy Control (GPC). If your browser or an extension sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of targeted advertising and of any sale or sharing of your personal data, and we do not set advertising or non-essential Statistics cookies for that browser on our site. Because these signals are per-browser and per-device, you may need to enable GPC on each browser and device you use.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings and through the third-party opt-outs listed near the end of this notice.
The categories we use
Essential (always active). These make the site function — page loading, security, bot protection, form submission, and remembering your cookie choices. They are not used for advertising and are not subject to consent.
Statistics. These help us understand how visitors find and use the site so we can improve it. This category includes Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity. Please note that Microsoft Clarity records on-page activity (clicks, scrolling, mouse movement) and can capture information typed into fields; we apply masking settings intended to limit the capture of sensitive input, but you should not treat Statistics data as fully anonymous.
Marketing. These help us show relevant offers, measure whether our ads work, and connect a call or form request back to the ad that brought you here. This category includes Google Ads, the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, and Microsoft Advertising (Bing). These providers may combine this information with data they already hold about you.
