2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make 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 locally. When you return to a website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions over time.

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They help our website function during your visit.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. They remember your preferences and login details for future visits.

In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage, and session storage. For the purposes of this policy, all such technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."
