How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies for the following purposes:
- Essential cookies: Necessary for the Site to function (e.g., session cookies that remember your cookie consent preference). These do not gather information about you and cannot be switched off in our system.
- Advertising cookies: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google uses the DoubleClick cookie and other identifiers to serve personalised ads based on your previous visits to our Site and other websites. This may involve profiling. Google may also use cookies to limit the number of times you see an ad and measure ad effectiveness.
- Analytics cookies: We may use Google Analytics (which sets cookies) to collect aggregated, anonymised data about Site traffic and user interactions.
Third-Party Cookies
Our advertising partners, primarily Google, may set their own cookies through our Site. We do not control these cookies. For detailed information on how Google uses data, visit Google’s Privacy & Terms.

- Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, blocking essential cookies may affect Site functionality.
