1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

2. Why do we use Cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons:

  • Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website (such as member login areas) and to use essential features.
  • Performance and Functionality Cookies: These are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our website but are non-essential to its use (e.g., remembering your language preferences).
  • Analytics and Customization Cookies: These collect information in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used (e.g., Google Analytics) or to measure the effectiveness of our community outreach campaigns.

3. Control of Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and specific areas of our website may be restricted.

4. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the website and facilitate social media sharing (such as Facebook “Like” or “Share” buttons). These third parties have their own independent privacy and cookie policies.

5. Updates to this Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
