Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they are required for core website functions.

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through browser settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

Please review your device and browser privacy settings for available options.


12. Advertising Preferences

Certain advertising providers allow users to manage personalized advertising preferences directly through their platforms.

Changing advertising preferences may reduce personalized advertisements, but it may not stop all advertisements or prevent all information collection.

You may still receive advertisements that are based on general information rather than your individual website activity.


13. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” setting that sends a signal requesting that websites not track browser activity.

There is currently no single universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to every Do Not Track signal.

Accordingly, the website may not respond to all such signals.

You may continue to manage tracking through:

  • The website’s cookie preference tool

  • Your browser settings

  • Your device settings

  • Third-party advertising controls


14. Global Privacy Control

Some browsers and extensions support Global Privacy Control or similar preference signals.

Where legally required and technically supported, we may recognize applicable browser-based opt-out preference signals.

The availability and effect of these signals may depend on your location, browser, device, and the technologies used on the website.


15. International Visitors

Cookie requirements vary depending on the visitor’s jurisdiction.

Where applicable law requires consent, non-essential cookies will not be activated until consent is provided.

Visitors may be able to continue using essential website functions after declining analytics, functional, social media, or advertising cookies, although some optional features may not work.


16. Children’s Privacy

The website is intended for adults and is not directed toward children under eighteen (18).

We do not knowingly use cookies to create advertising profiles about children.

If you believe information has been collected from a child through this website, contact us so we can review the matter and take appropriate action.


17. Third-Party Cookie Policies

Third-party providers control the cookies they place and may change their cookies without notice to us.

We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services you access through the website.

We are not responsible for the privacy, tracking, or cookie practices of third-party websites or platforms.

  • Website features are added or removed

  • Service providers are changed

  • Analytics tools are updated

  • Payment or scheduling systems are modified

  • Marketing platforms are connected
