What are cookies?

Cookies are small files or similar technologies that store or access information on a device when a website is visited. They may help a website operate, protect against abuse, remember preferences, measure use, or support advertising and attribution.

Current use on the institutional website

At this time, we do not use non-essential analytics, advertising, remarketing, or conversion-tracking technologies. Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Ads conversion tags, Meta Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, and TikTok Pixel are not part of the current configuration.

The website may still use strictly necessary technical mechanisms associated with hosting, security, page delivery, or basic functionality. These mechanisms are not intended to be used for unrelated advertising or to create marketing profiles.

Strictly necessary technologies

Strictly necessary cookies or similar mechanisms may support security, basic functionality, page delivery, performance, or another function essential to provide the requested website service. Where the applicable law recognizes an exemption from consent, these technologies may operate without an optional consent choice.

Preference technologies

Preference technologies may remember choices such as language, display, or consent settings. They will be used only if activated on the relevant page and handled according to applicable requirements.

Analytics technologies

Analytics technologies are not intended to be active on the current institutional website. If analytics are introduced later, this Policy will be updated to identify the relevant provider, purpose, category, retention period, and available choices before or when required by applicable law.

Advertising, affiliate attribution, and remarketing technologies

The institutional website is not currently configured to use advertising pixels, remarketing tags, or Google Ads conversion tags. A producer, affiliate platform, or third-party sales page may use attribution or tracking technologies after a visitor clicks through to that third party. Those technologies are governed by the third party’s own notices and choices.

Consent and control

If optional cookies or similar technologies are activated in the future, they will be enabled only in accordance with applicable information and consent requirements. Visitors may manage available choices through the relevant consent controls or through browser settings. Disabling necessary technologies may affect the operation of the website.

Third-party technologies

Future tools may be provided by hosting, security, analytics, advertising, affiliate, or consent-management providers. The provider list and purposes will be updated when a tool is installed. Third parties may process information in other countries under their own policies.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when the website, offer pages, tools, providers, or legal requirements change. The effective date and last updated date appear at the top of this page.
