What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners.

Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language and other settings. This can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use different types of cookies on our website for various purposes. They can be categorized as follows:

1. Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access. You cannot opt out of these cookies as the website cannot function properly without them.

Examples: Cookies that remember your preferences (such as language or region), cookies that remember information you've entered into forms.

3. Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

Examples: Google Analytics cookies that collect information about how you use our website.

4. Marketing Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third parties on our website. These third parties may include:

  • Analytics providers (such as Google Analytics) that help us understand how our website is being used
  • Advertising networks that deliver targeted advertisements that may be of interest to you
  • Social media platforms that enable features like sharing content via social media

These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your use of our website and other websites. This information may be used to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, and better understand your online activity.

Please note that we do not control these third-party cookies and you should check the privacy policies of these third parties for more information about their cookies and how to manage them.

Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies on our website:

Web Beacons

Web beacons (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) are small electronic files that permit us, for example, to count users who have visited certain pages and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).

Local Storage

Local storage, such as HTML5 localStorage and indexedDB, provides websites with a way to store information locally on your device. It's similar to cookies but can hold more information and is stored in a different manner.

Session Replay

We may use session replay technologies to record your interactions with our website to help us improve user experience and diagnose technical problems.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, we do not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals, as there is no standard interpretation of such signals and no industry-standard response.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. Any changes will become effective when we post the revised Cookie Policy on our website. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our cookie practices.
