What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your 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.

How we use cookies

Currently, we use cookies that are automatically generated by Elementor, our WordPress-based web build tool. These cookies may collect information about your browsing behavior or preferences to help us improve the performance and functionality of our website.

Types of cookies we use

  1. Necessary Cookies:

Third party data processing

We work with third-party platforms to support our internal data management operations. These companies include, but are not limited to, Microsoft 365, Airtable, Google Workspace, Softr, and myblocs.io. These third parties may process cookie data for the sole purpose of helping us manage internal processes such as performance improvements and operational reporting.
