1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as language or display settings) over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them whenever you return. Cookies cannot run programs or carry viruses.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly necessary cookies require no consent as they are essential for the service. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by clicking "Cookie Preferences" in the page footer. Consent records are stored for 12 months, after which we will ask again.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of the page and, for material changes, post a notice on the rnevvs homepage.
