Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information about how a site is used.

Cookies can be:

• Session cookies — Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies — Cookies that remain on your device for a set period of time, or until you delete them manually.
• First-party cookies — Set by the website you are visiting.
• Third-party cookies — Set by a domain other than the website you are visiting, typically by embedded services and tools.

2. How We Use Cookies

Our website uses a minimal number of cookies. We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking. The cookies on our site fall into the following categories:

Essential / Functional Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. They enable core features such as contact form submission and page navigation. Without these cookies, certain parts of the website would not work. Because they are strictly necessary, these cookies cannot be disabled.

Third-Party Service Cookies

Our website uses third-party services that may set their own cookies or similar technologies on your device. These include, but are not limited to, tools for analytics, performance monitoring, form processing, and website optimization. Third-party services currently used on this site include:

• Calendly — We may use Calendly to allow visitors to schedule appointments or consultations directly on our website. Calendly may set cookies to manage scheduling sessions. Subject to Calendly's Privacy Policy.
• Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity — Google Tag Manager loads our analytics tools. Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity may set cookies and collect information such as pages visited, clicks and scrolling, session duration, device and browser type, approximate location derived from your IP address, and cookie or device identifiers. Clarity may also record page interactions; by default, it masks text typed into form fields. Each tool's data practices are governed by its own privacy policy.

We will update this list as our use of third-party tools changes.

3. Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View which cookies are stored on your device and delete them individually or in bulk.
• Block third-party cookies.
• Block cookies from specific websites.
• Block all cookies (note: this may affect website functionality).
• Delete all cookies when you close your browser.

For instructions on managing cookies in your specific browser, visit your browser's help center:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Please be aware that restricting cookies may affect the functionality of our contact forms and other interactive features of this website.

4. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals your preference not to be tracked. Because there is no universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals, our website does not currently alter its behavior based on DNT settings. However, as noted above, we do not engage in cross-site behavioral tracking.

5. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time — for example, if we introduce new tools or services that affect how cookies are used on our website. Any changes will be reflected on this page with a revised Effective Date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
