Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by us) or "third-party" (set by other services we use).

We also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags where relevant; when we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we may include these where appropriate.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to: keep you signed in; remember your preferences (e.g., language, region); understand how you use our site so we can improve it; deliver relevant content and ads; and help prevent fraud and ensure security. The specific cookies we use and their purposes are described in the sections below.

3. Types of Cookies

We use the following types of cookies:

• Strictly necessary: Required for the website to function (e.g., authentication, security, load balancing).
• Functional: Remember your choices and preferences to improve your experience.
• Analytics: Help us understand how visitors use our site (e.g., pages visited, time on site).
• Marketing: Used to deliver relevant advertisements and measure campaign effectiveness (where you have consented).

4. Third-Party Cookies

Third-party services we use (such as analytics providers, payment processors, and advertising partners) may set their own cookies when you use our site. These are subject to the respective third party's privacy and cookie policies. We do not control these cookies; you can often manage them through your browser settings or the third party's opt-out tools.

5. Managing Preferences

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse or accept cookies, or to delete existing cookies. Blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of our website (for example, you may need to sign in again or certain features may not work as intended).

6. Policy Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
