They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow the website to recognize your device and store certain information about your preferences or past actions. This enables a more personalized browsing experience and helps us improve our services.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors engage with our website by collecting information about their browsing behavior.
