1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide certain functionalities and to gather basic information about your Browse activities.
Cookies can be classified as either “persistent” or “session” cookies:

2. How I Use Cookies
I use cookies on my website for the following purposes:

I do not use cookies for direct marketing or profiling purposes that would track your personal Browse habits across other websites.
3. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to my own cookies, third-party services that I integrate into my website (e.g., website analytics providers, embedded content from booking systems, or social media feeds) may also place cookies on your device. These are cookies set by a domain other than my website. These third parties have their own privacy policies regarding how they handle the information they collect.
