Third-Party Cookies
Sometimes cookies come from our trusted friends:
-
Google Analytics – so we know which pages are a hit (or a flop) and can make your browsing smoother.
-
AddThis – makes sharing our pages with friends a breeze.
Social media buttons (like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, or X/Twitter) may also set cookies if you interact with them. We don’t control those cookies, so check each platform’s privacy policies if you want the full scoop.
Managing Your Cookies
When you land on our site, you can choose which cookies you’re happy with via our cookie banner.
You can also clear cookies anytime by deleting your browsing history and making sure “cookies and other site data” is selected. Just a heads-up: turning off some cookies might make parts of the site a little less smooth.
