What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit our website. They help us provide you with a better experience by remembering your preferences and analyzing how you use our platform.
Cookies contain information that is transferred to your device's hard drive and stored there. They do not contain personal information that can identify you directly.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use several types of cookies to enhance your experience: essential cookies that are necessary for basic website functionality, performance cookies that help us understand how visitors interact with our site, and functional cookies that remember your preferences.
We also use analytics cookies to gather information about website usage patterns and improve our services based on user behavior data.

Essential cookies include session management, authentication tokens, and security measures that protect your account and data during your visit.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
Performance cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, including which pages are visited most often and if users encounter error messages. This information helps us improve website performance and user experience.
Analytics cookies provide insights into user behavior patterns, helping us understand which features are most valuable and where improvements can be made.

Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. These may include analytics providers, content delivery networks, and integrated services that enhance our platform functionality.
We carefully select third-party partners and ensure they meet our privacy and security standards before allowing their cookies on our platform.
Cookie Duration and Expiration
Cookies have different lifespans depending on their purpose. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until manually deleted.
We regularly review cookie expiration periods to ensure they align with their intended purposes and minimize data retention where possible.

All major browsers provide options to manage cookies through their settings menus. You can typically choose to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or be notified when cookies are being set.
Browser settings also allow you to delete existing cookies and set preferences for future cookie handling on a site-by-site basis.
Impact of Disabling Cookies
Disabling certain cookies may limit your ability to use some features of our website. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without affecting basic functionality and security measures.
We strive to provide alternative functionality where possible when cookies are disabled, but some personalization and convenience features may not be available.
