What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Service. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.

Types of cookies we use:

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our Website and to enable you to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas or age verification persistence. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Website to you, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our Website functions.

However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable. We use these for remembering choices like age verification status.

Vercel Analytics: Collects anonymous usage statistics.

PostHog: Helps us understand user interaction and improve the site.

Advertising Cookies (Future): These cookies may be used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. We may implement technologies like the Facebook Pixel in the future which would fall under this category.
