    6) Managing Your Cookie Preferences

    You have several options for managing cookies:

    Browser Settings

    Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

    • View and delete existing cookies
    • Block all cookies or only third-party cookies
    • Set preferences for specific websites
    • Receive notifications when cookies are set

    Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect your experience on our site and limit certain features.

    Opt-Out Tools

    You can opt out of interest-based advertising through industry opt-out tools:

    Google Analytics Opt-Out

    To opt out of Google Analytics tracking, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

    Mobile Device Settings

    On mobile devices, you can typically limit ad tracking through your device settings:

    • iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking
    • Android: Settings → Privacy → Ads

    7) Do Not Track Signals

    Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Because there is no uniform standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, we do not currently respond to DNT browser settings. However, you can use the opt-out tools described above to manage tracking preferences.

    We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, regulatory, or operational reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
