3. Managing Your Preferences
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time in the following ways:
3.1 Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit the Website, a cookie consent banner will appear allowing you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can revisit your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the website footer.
3.2 Browser Settings
Most modern browsers allow you to control cookies through their security settings. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. Please note that refusing strictly necessary cookies will prevent authentication into the client portal.
3.3 Google Analytics Opt-Out
To opt out of Google Analytics across all websites, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
4. Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. There is currently no industry standard for responding to DNT signals. We will continue to monitor developments and update our practices accordingly.
5. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our infrastructure or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this policy regularly to stay informed. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last updated.
