1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the site.
We also use similar technologies like localStorage and sessionStorage for preferences that don't need to be sent to our server.

- Preference Cookies — Remember your search filters, city preferences, and display settings. Only active with your consent.
- Analytics Cookies — Help us understand how visitors use the site (pages visited, time spent, device type). Anonymised. Only active with your consent.
