8. Consequences of Disabling Cookies
If you choose to disable cookies, please be aware of the following potential impacts:
Loss of essential functionality: Certain features of our website — such as contact forms, secure login areas, and interactive tools — may not function correctly without strictly necessary cookies.
Reduced user experience: Without functionality cookies, the website will not remember your preferences, requiring you to reset them on each visit.
Security and fraud prevention: Some security cookies help us protect the website and your data from malicious activity. Disabling these may reduce the effectiveness of our security measures.
Limited analytics: Disabling analytics cookies means we cannot learn from your visit to improve the website for future users.
9. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that they do not track your browsing activity. At present, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our website currently does not respond to DNT signals. However, you may exercise choice regarding tracking through the cookie consent banner on our website and through the browser settings described in Section 7 above.
To enable DNT in your browser: Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies → "Send a 'Do Not Track' request." Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → "Send websites a 'Do Not Track' signal." Safari: DNT is not supported; use Intelligent Tracking Prevention instead. Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → "Send 'Do Not Track' requests."
