Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 23, 2026
1. How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies, local storage, pixels, tags, and similar browser technologies to operate the website, remember your privacy settings, protect forms from abuse, measure performance, and support advertising only when you allow it.
2. Consent Defaults
Non-essential analytics and advertising tracking are off by default. The site sets Google consent mode defaults to denied for advertising storage, advertising user data, advertising personalization, and analytics storage before any Google tracking library is allowed to load.
We also honor Global Privacy Control signals as an opt-out of sale or sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising.
3. Cookie Categories
| Category | Purpose | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Site security, form operation, navigation, and saving privacy choices in first-party storage. | Always active |
| Analytics | Optional site measurement and improvement tools such as Google Analytics-style measurement, Hotjar, and Microsoft Clarity when configured. | Off until consent |
| Advertising | Optional conversion measurement and cross-site advertising tools such as Google Ads, Google Tag Manager marketing tags, and Bing UET when configured. | Off until consent |
4. Providers Currently Controlled by Consent
- Google tag / Google Ads: loaded only after advertising consent or a configured analytics-only Google tag consent.
- Google Tag Manager: loaded only after advertising consent.
- Hotjar: loaded only after analytics consent.
- Microsoft Clarity: loaded only after analytics consent.
- Bing UET: loaded only after advertising consent and only if a Bing UET ID is configured.
5. Video Tracking
Video files on this website are self-hosted HTML5 media. We do not send video playback events or identifiable video viewing data to third-party tracking providers before consent.
6. Manage Your Choices
You can update your choices at any time. If you withdraw consent after a tracking provider has loaded, the site updates consent status, clears known first-party tracking cookies where possible, and may reload the page so non-essential scripts are removed from the active session.
