Browser Settings
Different web browsers have different methods for managing cookies. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies through their settings or preferences menu.
In most browsers, you can find cookie settings under privacy or security sections. These settings typically allow you to block third-party cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive notifications when new cookies are being set.
Some browsers offer enhanced privacy modes or incognito browsing that automatically deletes cookies when you close the browser session. These modes can provide additional privacy protection.
If you use multiple devices or browsers, you will need to adjust cookie settings on each one separately. Cookie preferences are typically stored locally and do not sync between devices or browsers.

Mobile devices and apps may use similar tracking technologies to cookies. These technologies serve similar purposes but may be managed differently than traditional website cookies.
Mobile browsers typically offer cookie management options similar to desktop browsers, usually found in the privacy or security settings of the browser application.
Some mobile devices provide system-level privacy controls that affect how apps and websites can track your activity. Check your device's privacy settings for additional options.
Mobile advertising identifiers can be reset or disabled through your device's privacy settings. This affects how personalized advertising is delivered to your device.

We regularly review our cookie usage and retention periods to ensure we only keep cookies for as long as necessary to achieve their intended purpose.
Analytics cookies typically have longer retention periods to allow for meaningful analysis of website usage trends over time. However, the data collected is generally anonymous and aggregated.
