Data collected is aggregated and anonymized; no personally identifiable information is stored.
• Social Media Cookies – When visitors interact with social sharing buttons or embedded posts from Pinterest, Instagram, or Facebook, those platforms place their own cookies. These cookies enable features such as "like," "share," and "follow" buttons, and may also be used to track engagement across our site and the social platform’s domain.
