Browser-Specific Instructions
Website Local Storage
Our website uses browser local storage (similar to cookies) for the following purposes:

- Cookie consent preferences: We store your cookie consent choice so we don't ask you repeatedly.
- Analytics consent: If you opt out of analytics, we remember this preference.
You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings (Clear site data).
