What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to give website owners information about how their site is being used. Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by a party other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies".
The Cookies We Use
We use a small number of cookies. None of them are used for advertising.
Functional cookies (no consent required)
These cookies are necessary for the website to work correctly. They do not track you across other websites and contain no personally identifiable information.

Set on first visit using your IP address to detect location. Your IP address is not stored. The cookie value contains only a two-letter market code. | 30 days | PayReady |
Analytics cookies (only set if you accept)
We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors find and use our website - for example, which pages are visited most, where visitors come from, and how long they stay. This information is aggregated and anonymous; we cannot identify individual visitors from it.
These cookies are not set until you click Accept on the cookie banner shown on your first visit. If you click Reject, or close the banner without choosing, Google Analytics does not load and none of the cookies below are set. You can change your choice at any time using the "Manage cookie preferences" button above.
When accepted, Google Analytics sets the following cookies:
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga |
Distinguishes unique visitors. Used to calculate visit, session, and campaign data for analytics reports. | 2 years | |
_ga_* |

Google's privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Third-party services that do not set cookies
We use Vercel Analytics to monitor site performance and visitor counts. Vercel Analytics uses a cookieless, privacy-friendly approach - it does not set any cookies and does not store personal data or cross-site tracking identifiers.
