The exact technologies present on the website may change as pages, embeds, analytics, forms, calendars, payment tools, event services, and marketing systems change. A production cookie scan should be used to maintain a current technical inventory.
What cookies are
Cookies are small pieces of information stored through a web browser when a website is visited. They can help a website recognize a browser or device, remember a preference, maintain a session, measure activity, or support other website functions.
A cookie does not necessarily identify you by name. Depending on the technology and surrounding data, it may identify a browser, device, session, account, preference, or interaction pattern.
Cookies and similar technologies
This policy uses “cookies” as a convenient term that may also include:
- Pixels, tags, web beacons, and conversion-tracking code.
- Local storage and session storage in the browser.
- Software development kits, embedded scripts, and device identifiers.
- Authentication, fraud-prevention, security, and session technologies.
- Technologies used by embedded video, audio, forms, calendars, payment, and event services.
Why we may use these technologies
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to:
- Operate pages, forms, calendars, registrations, checkouts, video players, and secure sessions.
- Remember choices such as consent preferences, display settings, or form progress.
- Understand page visits, traffic sources, browser types, device use, and website performance.
- Measure registrations, purchases, campaign activity, content engagement, or advertising effectiveness.
- Prevent fraud, detect abuse, troubleshoot errors, and protect website security.
- Support embedded media, social sharing, podcast players, maps, or other connected services.
Categories of cookies and related technologies
Support essential functions such as security, session management, consent records, forms, and basic page operation.
Remember choices and support features that make the website more convenient or personalized.
Help understand traffic, interactions, performance, errors, and how visitors use public pages.
May support campaign attribution, audience measurement, conversion reporting, or relevant advertising.
May be placed when visitors load or interact with video, audio, social, booking, or other embedded services.
Help identify suspicious activity, protect forms and payments, and maintain the integrity of connected systems.
The technologies used can differ by page, visitor location, consent choice, browser configuration, embedded service, registration flow, and campaign source.
First-party and third-party technologies
First-party cookies are associated with the website domain you are visiting. Third-party technologies may be provided by another company whose content, script, form, calendar, video player, analytics tool, payment service, or other feature appears on the page.
Third-party providers may process information according to their own terms and privacy policies. Their technologies, names, purposes, and retention periods may change independently.
Embedded forms, calendars, video, audio, and other services
The website may contain embedded forms, booking calendars, webinar tools, video players, podcast players, payment services, social content, event-registration systems, maps, or other independently operated features.
Loading or interacting with an embedded service may allow its provider to place or read cookies, collect technical information, recognize an existing account, or measure activity.
Where a non-essential embedded service requires consent, it should be configured to respect the applicable consent choice before loading, where technically and legally required.
Session and persistent cookies
Session cookies generally expire when the browser session ends. Persistent cookies may remain for a defined period or until removed, depending on the provider and purpose.
Retention periods can change when technology providers update their systems. A current cookie scan and consent-management inventory should be used for exact names and durations.
Your cookie choices
Use the website’s cookie banner or preference center when available.
A properly configured consent tool should allow visitors to accept, reject, or adjust optional categories where required. Strictly necessary technologies may remain active because the website or requested service cannot operate properly without them.
Review the Privacy Policy →Cookie choices must be managed through the website’s active consent banner or preference center, the browser or device, or the applicable third-party provider.
Browser and device controls
Most browsers allow users to view, delete, block, or limit cookies. Browser settings differ, and blocking all cookies may prevent forms, calendars, checkout pages, logins, embedded media, or other features from working correctly.
Clearing cookies may also delete saved preferences and may cause a consent banner to appear again. Controls for local storage, tracking protection, advertising identifiers, and app permissions may be available through the browser, operating system, device, or provider account.
Do Not Track and other privacy signals
Browsers and devices may provide privacy signals or tracking-prevention features. There is not one universal signal interpreted identically by every website, browser, and service.
Where a legally recognized opt-out preference signal applies, the website and connected systems should be configured to process it as required. Other browser signals may be handled according to available technology, provider support, and applicable law.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this policy when the website, embedded services, analytics, advertising tools, consent technology, business practices, or legal requirements change.
The revised page will display an updated date. Material changes may also be communicated through the website or consent interface where appropriate.
