What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies can be used to help websites function properly, remember preferences, understand how visitors use a website, and measure the effectiveness of advertising and marketing.

Some cookies are necessary for the operation and security of the Website, while others are optional and are used only with your consent.

How We Use Cookies

We may use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies on our Website:

Necessary Cookies

Necessary cookies support functions required for the Website to operate properly, including security, consent management, and other essential website functionality.

These cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie preference tool because they are necessary for the Website to function.

Our cookie consent system also stores your cookie preferences so that we can remember whether you have accepted or rejected optional cookies.

Analytics Cookies

With your consent, we use analytics technologies to better understand how visitors interact with our Website. This information can help us understand matters such as which pages are visited, how visitors navigate the Website, and how the Website is performing.

We use Google Analytics and related Google technologies for website analytics. Google Analytics may use cookies including _ga and cookies beginning with _ga_ to distinguish visitors and maintain information about website sessions.

Google Analytics cookies are not activated through our consent-controlled implementation unless you choose to allow Analytics Cookies.

Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager

We use Google Analytics to help us understand Website usage and performance. Google Analytics may collect information about how visitors interact with the Website, such as pages viewed, general device and browser information, and interactions with Website content.

Google Analytics uses first-party cookies, including _ga and _ga_<container-id>, to distinguish users and maintain session information.

We also use Google Tag Manager to manage certain website tags and measurement technologies. Google Tag Manager itself is a tag-management system and may be used to deploy other measurement technologies.

Our consent-controlled implementation prevents Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager from loading until Analytics Cookies have been permitted.

Meta Pixel

We use the Meta Pixel to help measure the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising efforts.

When Marketing Cookies are permitted, the Meta Pixel may collect information about visits to and interactions with the Website and may use cookies such as _fbp and _fbc.

The Meta Pixel is blocked through our consent-management system unless you choose to allow Marketing Cookies.

Contact Forms

Our Website includes a contact form that allows you to voluntarily provide information such as your name, email address, telephone number, and message.

Contact form submissions are processed using Basin, a third-party form processing service.

Information you voluntarily submit through a contact form is used for purposes such as responding to your inquiry or providing the information or assistance you requested. Contact form information is not considered an Analytics or Marketing Cookie preference.

Please do not submit sensitive financial information, account numbers, Social Security numbers, passwords, or other confidential financial information through a general Website contact form.

• Accept all optional cookies;

You may change your preferences at any time by selecting the Cookie Preferences link available in the Website footer.

Necessary Cookies cannot be disabled through the cookie preference tool. Analytics and Marketing Cookies can be enabled or disabled according to your preferences.

If you withdraw consent for an optional category, our consent-management system will prevent the applicable consent-controlled technologies from loading on subsequent page loads.

Blocking all cookies through your browser may affect the operation of certain Website features.
