- Enhancing Experience: By remembering your preferences, these cookies ensure that you do not need to re-set your preferences every time you visit the site.
Despite their convenience, it’s essential to note that functionality cookies are not strictly necessary to the functioning of a website but do enable additional features that improve the user experience. If you choose to disable cookies on your device, you may reduce the functionality of the site and limit what you can do.
