Cookie Policy Statement

A minor confession: our reliance on cookies is less about habit and more about delivering a consistent experience. Some models need steady inputs, and so does a website. Cookies help maintain that continuity, but they also raise questions about privacy and data control. Our team aims to balance both sides, always comparing our approach to stricter alternatives.
