Please be aware that blocking or deleting cookies may impact your ability to use certain features of our website. Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function properly, and blocking them may prevent you from accessing some parts of the service.
Browser-Specific Cookie Settings
To manage cookies in your specific browser, please refer to the following resources:

Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked.

However, you can still control cookies through your browser settings as described above.
Cookie Retention Period
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on its type:
- Session cookies: Deleted automatically when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies: Remain on your device for a set period (typically from a few days to several years) or until you manually delete them
