1. What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a compact text file stored on your computer or mobile device when you load a web page. Cookies enable a website to recognize your browser, retain preferences (such as language selection or consent status), and collect aggregated diagnostic data about site performance.
Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining stored across browser sessions until an explicit expiration date) or "session" cookies (erased as soon as your browser window closes).
2. Categories of Cookies Deployed on This Site
We categorize browser storage mechanisms into three functional groups:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for core website security, network routing, and accessibility. Without these, the site cannot function securely. These do not require user consent under applicable regulations.
- Functional & Preference Cookies: Used to record user interface preferences, such as retaining your consent status so the cookie banner does not re-appear on every subsequent page load.
- Performance & Analytics Cookies: Gather aggregated, de-identified telemetry regarding visitor volume, bounce rates, and popular research pages to help us refine our technical content.
