  • Essential – Necessary cookies help make a website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
  • Performance – Performance cookies help owners understand how the website is used by visitors. This information can then be used to improve the way the website works.
  • Preference – Preference cookies enable a website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, like your preferred language or the region that you are in.
  • Statistics – Statistic cookies help website owners to understand how visitors interact with websites by collecting and reporting information anonymously.
