You may opt out of marketing emails at any time by clicking "unsubscribe" in any email we send.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.
4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use essential cookies (required for the website to function), preference cookies (to remember your settings), analytics cookies (Google Analytics — to understand how visitors use our site), and marketing cookies (where you have consented, to measure campaign effectiveness).
