🔍 What Are Cookies?

Cookies are tiny data files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, enhance performance, and keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

🧠 Why We Use Cookies

We only use cookies that serve a purpose. That means no fluff, no bloat—just tools that help us:

  • Understand how you interact with our site

  • Keep things running securely and quickly

  • Customize your experience (like remembering your preferences or past interactions)

  • Track performance so we can optimize and grow (hello, analytics)

🍪 Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These are the baseline. They keep the site functional—like remembering your session or keeping the navigation smooth.

Analytics Cookies

We use services like Google Analytics to understand what’s working and what’s not. These cookies tell us which pages get love, which need help, and how long you hang out before bouncing.

Functionality Cookies

These remember your settings and preferences so the site feels a little more… like yours.

Third-Party Cookies

Sometimes we integrate with tools like YouTube, social platforms, or payment providers. These may set their own cookies through our site.
