Cookies are also used for analyzing site traffic and for targeted advertising and marketing.
Nearly all websites utilize cookies without damaging your system. You can manage what types of cookies to accept through your browser settings. You have the option to block cookies at any time by activating your browser’s setting that allows you to refuse all or some cookies.

How Cookies are Employed on Our Site
​
We employ cookies to monitor how you engage with our website. Understanding your usage patterns helps us improve our website and tailor our products or services to better suit your preferences.
​
Cookies are categorized into:
​
Session cookies: These exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close it. They typically store an anonymous session identifier on your computer, allowing you to navigate a site without logging in to each page, but do not gather any personal information from your device.
​
Persistent cookies: These remain on your computer even after you close your browser. Persistent cookies can be read by the website that created them when you visit again. We use persistent cookies primarily for Google Analytics to track site interactions.
​

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for you to browse our website and use its features. Without these cookies, services you’ve requested, like shopping carts or e-billing, cannot be provided.

​
Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor; all information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how a website works.
Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
