They are as fundamental to the internet as Wi-Fi, HTML, or electricity.

Necessary Cookies
Necessary cookies enable the core functions of our website. These cookies are essential for navigating the site and using its features, such as accessing secure areas. These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions you take that correspond to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms. You can set your browser to alert you about these cookies or block them, but blocking these cookies may cause some parts of our website to not work.

Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made and provide enhanced, personalized features. These cookies enable the website to offer functionality that improves your user experience, such as remembering your preferences (e.g., language, region, or display settings) or enabling certain features like video playback. If you disable these cookies, some parts of the website may not function properly, and certain services may become unavailable.
Analytical Cookies
These cookies collect information about how users use our website, such as which pages they visit and which links they click. These cookies allow us to count visits and identify traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and observe how visitors move through the site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and, therefore, anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site.
