1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help the site remember certain information about your visit — for example, whether you have already seen a particular notice, or which language you prefer.
Cookies do not carry personal information in and of themselves, and most can be controlled or removed through your browser settings. We use cookies thoughtfully and only where they serve a clear purpose.
2. Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Always active
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They handle things like remembering your cookie consent choice so we do not ask you again. They cannot be turned off.
Duration: Session and up to 12 months for consent storage.
Analytics Cookies
Optional
These help us understand how visitors use the website — for example, which pages are visited most often and how people find us. The information is aggregated and not used to identify individuals.
Duration: Up to 26 months. Third-party: Google Analytics.
Marketing Cookies
Optional
These cookies may be set by advertising partners to show you relevant content on other websites. We use them sparingly, and only where they may help families find our community.
Duration: Up to 90 days. Third-party: advertising network partners.
Preference Cookies
Optional
These remember choices you have made — such as your region or display settings — so the website can feel a little more familiar on your next visit.
Duration: Up to 12 months.
3. Your Cookie Preferences
