1. What Are Cookies?

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

Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions. This helps us provide you with a better, more personalized experience when you use our Platform.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

2.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Platform to function properly. They enable core functionality such as:

• User authentication and session management
• Security features and fraud prevention
• Remembering your preferences and settings

These cookies cannot be disabled as they are essential for the Platform to work.

• Analyzing which features are most popular
• Identifying areas for improvement

This information is aggregated and anonymized, and we use it to improve our services. Google Analytics may load on the page using Google Consent Mode with analytics storage denied until you Accept; no analytics cookies are set until then.

4. Third-Party Cookies

We may use third-party services that set their own cookies on your device. These include:

• Analytics Services: Google Analytics and similar services to understand how users interact with our Platform
• Advertising / retargeting: Meta (Facebook) Pixel and Google Ads may load so we can measure campaigns; advertising cookies are only active after you Accept
• Payment Processors: Secure payment processing services that may set cookies for transaction security
• Social Media Platforms: If you interact with social media features on our Platform, these platforms may set cookies
• Advertising Networks: To deliver relevant advertisements and measure their effectiveness

We do not have control over these third-party cookies. Please refer to the respective third-party privacy and cookie policies for more information.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have control over cookies. You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:

5.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can:

• Block all cookies
• Block third-party cookies only
• Delete existing cookies
• Set your browser to notify you when cookies are being set

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may impact your experience on our Platform. Some features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

5.2 Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our Platform, you may see a cookie consent banner. You can Accept non-essential cookies (full analytics and advertising) or Decline them. Until you Accept, Google Analytics runs in a denied Consent Mode state (no analytics/ads cookies). Essential cookies required for security and sign-in still work either way. You can change your choice later by clearing site data for this website in your browser, which will show the banner again on your next visit.

5.3 Opt-Out Links

For certain third-party cookies, you can opt out directly:

• Google Analytics: You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
• Advertising Networks: You can opt out of personalized advertising through the Your Online Choices website

6. How Long Do Cookies Last?

The duration of cookies depends on their type:

• Session Cookies: These are deleted when you close your browser
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period, typically ranging from a few days to several years, depending on their purpose

We review and update our cookie practices regularly to ensure they align with our privacy commitments and legal obligations.

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Currently, there is no standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We do not currently respond to DNT browser signals, but we respect your cookie preferences as set through our cookie consent mechanism.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
