What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and understand how you use the site. Similar technologies — such as localStorage, sessionStorage, and pixel tags — serve comparable purposes.
Cookie categories
We classify all cookies and storage mechanisms into one of four categories. You can control non-essential categories via the Cookie Preferences link in the footer.
Strictly necessary
These cookies are required for the website or platform to function and cannot be disabled. They do not require your consent.
| Name | Provider | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| consent_id | Brokerdesk | First-party | 2 years | Stores a signed identifier that links your browser to your consent record. Used to maintain your cookie preferences and provide an audit trail. |

Managing your preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking Cookie Preferences in the footer of this site. You can also delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent you from using parts of the platform.
