WhatsApp
When you click a WhatsApp CTA button on our Website, you are redirected to WhatsApp. WhatsApp may set its own cookies or use device identifiers in accordance with Meta's privacy policy. We do not control these cookies.

Mailchimp
If you receive emails from us via Mailchimp and click a link back to our Website, Mailchimp may use tracking pixels in the email to measure open rates and click-through rates.

8. Do Not Track

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your browsing activity tracked. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our Website does not currently respond to DNT signals, but you can use our cookie consent banner to control your preferences directly.
