1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

• Cookies: Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site and help personalize your experience.
• Web Beacons (or Pixels): These are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web users or to access cookies.
• Local Storage: Technologies like HTML5 local storage allow websites to store information locally on your device, similar to cookies but capable of storing more data.

For simplicity, this policy refers to all these technologies as "cookies."

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several purposes, including:

• Essential/Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and Service. They enable core functionalities such as user authentication, session management, account security, and allowing you to navigate the site and use its basic features (e.g., accessing secure areas, processing payments). The Service cannot be provided properly without these cookies.
• Performance & Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information about how you use our website and Service, such as which pages you visit most often, how much time you spend on those pages, links clicked, and if you receive error messages. This data helps us understand user behavior, improve the performance and design of our Service, identify areas for enhancement, and measure the effectiveness of our content. Information collected is typically aggregated and, where possible, anonymized.
• Functional Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language preferences, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, they can be used to remember your login details or display preferences, so you don't have to re-enter them each time you visit.
• Security Cookies: We may use cookies to help identify and prevent security risks, such as fraudulent activity or violations of our terms.

3. Your Consent & Control

• Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through your browser settings. You can typically find these settings in the "options," "settings," or "preferences" menu of your browser. Blocking all cookies may affect the usability of many websites, including ours. If you block essential cookies, some parts of our Service may not function correctly.
• Managing Preferences: You can change or withdraw your cookie consent for non-essential cookies at any time via the cookie settings link or icon, typically found in the footer of our website, or through the cookie consent tool we provide.
