2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons, tags, and scripts) to track the activity on our Site and store certain information. Because our site is built on Wix, certain standard cookies are automatically deployed.

 

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data stored on a site visitor's browser. They are typically used to keep track of the settings users have selected and actions they have taken on a site.

 

Types of Cookies We Use
 

Wix websites use cookies for important reasons, such as:
 

  • Essential Cookies: To provide a great experience for your visitors, identify registered members, monitor and analyze the performance, operation, and effectiveness of the Wix platform, and ensure the platform is secure and safe to use.
     

  • Functional Cookies: To remember choices you make when you use the Site, such as language preferences or form inputs.
     

  • Analytics and Performance Cookies: We use tracking tools like Google Analytics to collect aggregate, anonymous data about website traffic and visitor behavior.
     

  • Mailchimp Tracking: Mailchimp may place cookies or web beacons when you interact with our sign-up forms or open email campaigns to track subscriber engagement and conversion rates.

 

How to Manage and Disable Cookies

​

You can control and manage your cookie preferences at any time:
 

  • Cookie Banners: When you first visit our Site, you will see a cookie consent banner powered by Wix. You can use it to accept or decline non-essential tracking cookies.
     

  • Browser Settings: You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, some parts of our Site may not function properly.

​

We share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our business:
