1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience. Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain on your device for a set period).
2. How We Use Cookies

We also keep some interface choices, such as dismissed notices, in your browser's local storage. That data stays on your device.
