5.1 Types of Cookies We Use

• Essential Cookies: Required for basic site functionality, such as remembering your theme preference.

This data is transmitted to Google's servers and is subject to Google's Privacy Policy. Firebase Analytics is initialized only when you load pages on our site and does not collect personal identifiers such as your name or email.
