We use the following categories of cookies:
Necessary Cookies (Always Active). These cookies are essential for core website operation, including navigation, security, session management, and Framer platform functionality. They are required for the website to function properly and are always active. You cannot turn these cookies off using our cookie settings, but you can block them in your browser; doing so may cause parts of the site to stop working correctly.
Preferences Cookies (Optional).
