This site uses cookies to improve your user experience, analyze traffic, and personalize content. By continuing to browse this site, you agree to the use of cookies in accordance with our Cookie Policy
What cookies we use and why Cookies and similar storage (like local storage) help the site function, remember basic choices, and understand readership. We group them as:
Strictly necessary: security, load balancing, essential preferences. These run because the site will not work properly without them.
Preferences: remember simple choices such as layout or previously dismissed notices.
Analytics/measurement: count visits, pages viewed, and general device data so we can improve articles and navigation. These are optional and only run with your consent. We do not place advertising cookies. If that changes, they will be clearly labeled and off by default.
Consent and control On your first visit we ask for your choice regarding optional cookies. You can change that choice later via your browser settings and any cookie controls we provide. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies entirely; the site will still load, but some conveniences may not persist. If you use multiple browsers or devices, set your preferences on each one.
Data handling, partners, and retention Service providers acting on our instructions may set or read cookies to deliver analytics or security features. They are bound by data-processing agreements and may be located outside the EEA with appropriate safeguards (for example, Standard Contractual Clauses). We do not sell personal data. Cookie and analytics data are kept only as long as needed for the stated purposes and are stored in aggregated form wherever possible.
Your rights and changes to this notice You may object to analytics, withdraw consent, or exercise your GDPR rights (access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, and objection) at any time. We may update this notice to reflect technical or legal changes; a new effective date will appear at the top. Continued use of the site after an update indicates you have read the changes.
