1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device — computer, tablet, or mobile phone — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information on their own, but they may be linked to personal data we hold about you.
Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, local storage objects, and scripts. Throughout this policy, we use the term "cookies" to refer collectively to all such technologies.

2.3 Performance and Analytics Cookies

They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and how visitors move around the site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

3. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
Cookies set directly by us are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than us are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as analytics, advertising, or interactive content. The parties that set these cookies can recognize your device both when it visits our website and also when it visits certain other websites.
We do not control how third parties use the information gathered through cookies they set. You should review the privacy and cookie policies of those third parties for more information.
4. Cookie Duration
4.1 Session Cookies
Session cookies are temporary and expire once you close your browser. They are used to carry information across pages of a website so you do not need to re-enter information repeatedly during a single visit.
4.2 Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time after each visit. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. The duration varies depending on the purpose of the cookie and can range from a few days to several years.
