Cookie Policy

A "Cookie" is a term used to refer to cookie modules and similar technologies that collect and store information.

An "Internet Cookie" (also known as a "browser cookie" or simply "cookie") is a small text file containing alphanumeric data, stored in the memory of computers, smartphones, and other internet-enabled devices. A cookie consists of two main components: the name and the content.

Cookies are installed (or "set") through instructions sent by a web server to a web browser (the application used to access websites, such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome) or by using client-side scripting languages (such as JavaScript). Cookies are inherently "passive" in nature, meaning they cannot contain software applications, malware, or themselves access information stored on the device.

By design, cookies can only be accessed by the same website that installed them, whenever the user returns to that site.

Disabling cookies may make the website harder to use. Some features may be degraded, and others may not function at all. For instance, certain functionalities, like changing the theme to dark/light, will not work properly without cookies.

However, users can configure their web browsers to accept or reject cookies from specific sites. All modern browsers offer this functionality, which can typically be accessed through the "options" or "preferences" menu.

It's important to note that disabling cookies will not stop advertisements from being displayed; it may, however, make those advertisements less relevant to your interests.
