2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. Each time you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions over time.

Cookies can be classified based on:

  • Origin: First-party cookies (set directly by our website) or third-party cookies (set by external services we use).
  • Duration: Session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remain on your device for a set period).
  • Purpose: Essential, functional, analytics, or advertising cookies.

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, local storage objects, and scripts that function in comparable ways. Throughout this policy, we use the term "cookies" to refer to all such technologies collectively.

4.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make — such as your username, language preferences, or the region you are located in — and provide enhanced, more personalized features.

The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
