1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, remember user preferences, and provide information to site owners. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services embedded on the page (third-party cookies).
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. Where this policy refers to "cookies," it encompasses these related technologies unless otherwise stated.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner appears offering three options: Accept All, Reject, or Cookie Settings. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for powershmovement.world and revisiting the site, which will display the consent banner again.
Additionally, most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View cookies stored on your device and delete them individually or collectively

- Block all cookies from specific websites
