We may use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help us understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as pages visited, time spent on the site, approximate location, and device type. This information is used in aggregated form to improve our website and services. Google may process this data in accordance with its own privacy policies.
5. Managing Cookies and Storage
You can manage cookies and browser storage through your browser settings. You can usually delete existing cookies, clear local or session storage, block future cookies, or configure site-specific permissions. Restricting some technologies may affect site security, language memory, inquiry submission, or payment-related functionality.
Where required by applicable laws, analytics cookies are only activated after you have given your consent through our cookie notice.
