3. Categories of Cookies We May Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting privacy preferences, submitting forms, requesting services, or navigating the Site.
You can configure your browser to block these cookies, but parts of the Site may not work as intended.
3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us and our service providers understand how visitors use the Site, including which pages are visited, how visitors move through the Site, which links are clicked, how long visitors spend on pages, and whether visitors encounter errors.
We use this information to measure and improve Site performance, content, design, and user experience.
3.3 Functionality Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering choices you make or supporting embedded features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to the Site.
3.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Where applicable, these cookies may be set through the Site by our analytics, communications, social media, or advertising partners. They may be used to measure outreach, understand engagement, build audience insights, or deliver relevant content on other sites.
These cookies may identify your browser or device. Depending on applicable law, certain uses of these cookies may be considered “targeted advertising,” “sharing,” or similar activities.
3.5 Social Media and Embedded Content Cookies
The Site may include links to or embedded content from third-party platforms, including social media platforms, messaging platforms, video platforms, or other external services. These third parties may set cookies or collect information when you interact with their content or links.
We do not control third-party cookies or tracking technologies. Your use of third-party platforms is governed by those third parties’ terms and privacy policies.
4. Cookie Inventory
The Site does not set cookies of its own.
1. Cloudflare (hosting and security)
Category: Strictly necessary
Cloudflare, which hosts and protects the Site, may set security cookies (such as __cf_bm or cf_clearance) when it detects automated traffic or presents a security check. They are used only to protect the Site, not for analytics or advertising. See Cloudflare’s cookie policy for details.
2. Cloudflare Web Analytics
Category: Analytics
Measures visits to the Site without using cookies or local storage.
3. Cloudflare Turnstile (form security check)
Category: Strictly necessary
On the Talk to the team page only, the Site loads Cloudflare Turnstile from challenges.cloudflare.com to check that a form submission comes from a person. Turnstile processes your IP address, TLS fingerprint, User-Agent header and the Site’s sitekey, and is used only to protect the form, not for analytics or advertising. See Cloudflare’s Turnstile Privacy Addendum and Cloudflare’s cookie policy for details.
5. Your Cookie Choices
5.1 Cookie Banner or Preference Center
Because the Site uses only strictly necessary cookies, it does not present a cookie banner or preference center. If we add non-essential cookies, we will present one where required by applicable law.
Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled through our preference center because they are required for the Site to operate.
5.2 Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies. Instructions are typically found in your browser’s “Help,” “Settings,” or “Preferences” menu.
If you disable cookies entirely, some features of the Site may not function properly.
5.3 Third-Party Opt-Out Tools
You may also be able to opt out of certain third-party analytics or advertising cookies through industry opt-out programs or provider-specific tools, including:
- Digital Advertising Alliance: optout.aboutads.info
- Network Advertising Initiative: optout.networkadvertising.org
- European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: youronlinechoices.eu
These tools are provided and controlled by third parties. We do not control and cannot guarantee their availability or effectiveness.
5.4 Global Privacy Control and Universal Opt-Out Signals
Where required by applicable law and where the Site uses cookies or similar technologies for targeted advertising, sale, or sharing of personal information, we will honor legally required browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, in a manner required by applicable law.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no uniform industry standard for recognizing or responding to such signals, the Site does not currently respond to “Do Not Track” signals. Where applicable, we treat legally recognized browser-based opt-out preference signals in accordance with applicable law.
7. Cookies and Personal Information
Some information collected through cookies may be considered personal information under applicable privacy laws. For more information about how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information, please see our Privacy Policy.
8. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, the cookies used on the Site, or our business practices. When we make material changes, we will post the updated Cookie Policy on the Site and update the “Last Updated” date.
