Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website operators. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot carry viruses.

Cookies can be "session cookies," which expire when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They can also be "first-party cookies," set by the website you are visiting, or "third-party cookies," set by a different domain.

Cookie Categories We Use

We categorize cookies into four types based on their purpose. The table below details each cookie currently in use on this website.

Cookie Name	Category	Purpose	Duration	Party
gyu_consent	Strictly Necessary	Stores your cookie consent preference so the consent prompt is not shown on every page visit	365 days	First-party
gyu_consent_ts	Strictly Necessary	Records the timestamp of your consent decision for compliance record-keeping	365 days	First-party
_ga	Analytics	Google Analytics cookie used to distinguish unique visitors and sessions	2 years	Third-party (Google)
_ga_[ID]	Analytics	Google Analytics cookie used to persist session state across page requests	2 years	Third-party (Google)
_gid	Analytics	Google Analytics cookie used to distinguish users within a 24-hour period	24 hours	Third-party (Google)

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to function. They do not collect information about you that could be used for marketing. They cannot be disabled without affecting core website functionality. Under applicable US regulations and FTC guidance, strictly necessary cookies do not require prior consent, though we disclose them here for transparency.

The consent preference cookie (gyu_consent) is itself a strictly necessary cookie. Without it, the cookie consent prompt would appear on every page, which would impair usability.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website. The information collected is aggregated and anonymous. It includes pages visited, time spent on pages, and how visitors arrived at the site. This information is used to improve the website's content and structure.

Analytics cookies are only placed if you accept them through the cookie consent tool. If you decline analytics cookies, you can still use all features of the website. No analytics cookies are placed before consent is given.

Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC under Google's privacy policy. For information about how Google processes this data, see Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

Functional Cookies

This website does not currently use functional cookies beyond those listed above. Functional cookies would be used to remember your preferences, such as language or display settings. If functional cookies are added in the future, this policy will be updated.

Advertising and Targeting Cookies

This website does not use advertising or targeting cookies. No cookies are placed for the purpose of serving personalized advertisements, tracking your behavior across websites for advertising purposes, or building advertising profiles.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:

Cookie consent tool: Use the cookie consent interface on this website to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your preference is stored and respected on subsequent visits.

Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when cookies are set. Consult your browser's help documentation for instructions specific to your browser.

Google Analytics opt-out: Google provides a browser add-on that prevents Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits. It is available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some websites. Disabling cookies on this website will not affect your ability to read any content, but your consent preference will not be saved.

Do Not Track

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites. There is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals. This website does not currently alter its behavior in response to DNT signals, but we do not place advertising or tracking cookies regardless of DNT status.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we add, change, or remove cookies. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
