1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. They help the website function properly, improve your experience, and help us understand how the website is being used.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

We only use non-essential cookies if you give consent through the cookie banner.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

A) Strictly Necessary Cookies (Always On)

These cookies are essential for the Website to function and cannot be switched off in our system. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as navigating pages, logging in, or using forms. Our Website is built and hosted on the Base44 platform, which sets the cookies needed to keep the Website secure and working. Without these cookies, the Website may not work properly.

B) Functional Cookies (Optional)

These cookies allow the Website to remember your preferences and settings, such as form inputs, language preferences, and other user settings. They improve your experience but are not required for the Website to function.

C) Analytics Cookies (Optional)

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Website — for example, which pages are visited most, how long users stay, and how they navigate. We use Base44's built-in analytics for this, and only if you consent.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you visit our Website, you will be shown a cookie banner where you can:

• Accept all cookies
• Decline all optional cookies
• Manage preferences by category

You can change your cookie settings at any time by clearing cookies in your browser settings.

• Safari: Settings → Privacy → Block all cookies
• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data

Disabling cookies may affect how the Website functions.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be set by third-party services (such as Base44's hosting and analytics) where enabled. We do not control these cookies directly, but we ensure consent is collected before any optional cookies are used.
