Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, mobile, tablet) by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to site owners. Cookies may store information about preferences, login sessions, or other data.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use different categories of cookies, each serving a specific purpose. Not all cookies require your prior consent:

• Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the operation of the Site (for example, to enable core functionality, navigation, authentication, or session management). These cannot usually be disabled via settings because the Site may not function properly without them.

• Performance / Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect aggregated, anonymous data about how visitors use the Site (e.g., pages visited, time spent). They help us understand usage patterns and improve the Site’s performance and user experience.

• Functional / Preference Cookies

These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as language preferences, region, display settings) so your experience is more personalized.

• Marketing / Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They may track your visits across websites and help measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.

• Third-Party Cookies

Some of the cookies on this Site may be placed by third-party services (e.g. analytics providers, advertising networks, social media plugins). Those third parties may use their own cookies to collect information about your browsing across other sites.

3. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Enable essential Site functions (login, navigation, security)
• Analyze how users interact with the Site, enabling us to improve our offerings
• Remember your preferences and settings
• Support marketing efforts and display more relevant content or ads
• Monitor and protect against fraud or abuse

The use of non-essential cookies (analytics, functional, marketing) may require your consent depending on your jurisdiction (e.g. under GDPR, ePrivacy regulation).

4. Your Cookie Choices & Withdrawal of Consent

You have the right to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Here’s how you can exercise those rights:

• Cookie preference settings: You may access a cookie settings panel (if available) in which you can enable or disable categories of cookies.
• Browser settings: You can manage or block cookies via your browser settings. You may delete existing cookies, refuse new ones, or set your browser to notify you before accepting cookies.
• Withdrawal of consent: If you have previously consented to non-essential cookies, you can withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings panel or by changing your browser options.
• Effect of disabling cookies: If you reject or disable certain cookies, some features or functionalities may not work properly or may be limited.

5. Cookie Duration

Cookies can be either session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a specified period). The duration of each cookie used on the Site may vary; some may persist for months or years unless deleted.

6. Third-Party Services and Cookies

We may use third-party services (such as analytics, advertising networks, or social media integrations) that set their own cookies or tracking technologies. These third parties operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, which you should review separately. We are not responsible for their practices or policies.

7. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in cookies or tracking technologies in use, regulatory requirements, or Site functionality. When changes occur, we will update the “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Site after changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

8. Additional Information
