1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you browse websites. Local storage (such as HTML5 local storage) is an industry-standard technology that allows a website to store and retrieve data on your computer, mobile phone, or other device. Both technologies are used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the owners of the site.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use these technologies to ensure our website operates correctly and to remember your privacy choices. We classify our cookies and local storage items into the following categories:
Essential Cookies / Data
These are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features. Because these are strictly necessary to deliver the site, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our site functions.
Functional Cookies
These allow our website to remember choices you make when you use our website, such as remembering your login details or cookie preference choices.
Analytics Cookies
These are used to collect information to analyze the traffic to our website and how visitors are using our website. (Note: We do not currently implement invasive third-party tracking scripts, but we provision for anonymous traffic counting if applicable).
3. Cookie and Storage Table

4. Managing Your Preferences
When you first visit our website, you are presented with a cookie banner that allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences. We store this choice using HTML5 local storage so you are not prompted on every page load.
If you wish to alter your choice at a later date, you can typically clear your browser's local storage and cache, which will trigger the banner to appear again on your next visit.
5. Browser Instructions for Disabling Cookies
