Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites function properly, to improve the visitor experience, and to provide information to website operators. Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install software on your device. They contain only text data.

Cookies can be "session cookies," which expire when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.

These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They include:

Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under US law, though we inform you of their use as a matter of transparency.

We may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our Site. This information helps us improve content organization and user experience. Analytics cookies collect information in an aggregated, non-personally-identifiable form.

If analytics services are in use, you will be informed through the cookie consent mechanism on your first visit. You may accept or decline analytics cookies at that time. Declining analytics cookies does not affect your ability to use any part of the Site.

We do not currently use advertising or tracking cookies. We do not share cookie data with third parties for advertising purposes.

You can manage cookies through several methods:

Browser Settings: All modern browsers allow you to view, block, and delete cookies through their settings menus. Consult your browser's help documentation for instructions specific to your browser. Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites.

Our Consent Mechanism: When you first visit the Site, a consent bar appears at the top of the page. You can accept or decline non-essential cookies at that time. Your preference is stored in the sxi_consent cookie.

Opt-Out Tools: If we use Google Analytics, you may opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Cookie consent requirements in the United States vary by state. California's CCPA/CPRA addresses the use of tracking technologies that may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell or share personal information through cookies. Our cookie use is limited to functional and, potentially, analytics purposes as described above.

We are committed to maintaining transparency about our data practices and will update this policy as our cookie use changes or as applicable law evolves.

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. Please check back periodically.
