This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use, and how you can control your cookie preferences.

This Cookie Policy is part of our Privacy Policy and should be read in conjunction with it. By using our Service, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree with the use of cookies as described herein, you should disable cookies in your browser settings or refrain from using the Service.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, or other connected device) when you visit them. They allow websites to store and retrieve information about your browsing habits, preferences, and interactions. Cookies are widely used to make websites function more efficiently and to provide a better user experience.

In addition to cookies, we may also use other tracking technologies that function similarly, including:

Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track user behaviour and email open rates.
Local Storage: Browser-based storage that allows websites to store data locally on your device.
Flash Cookies (Local Shared Objects): Data files stored by Adobe Flash Player on your device.
Fingerprinting: Techniques that identify devices based on their configuration characteristics.

For simplicity, this Cookie Policy refers to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies."

If you access our Service from a mobile device, we may use cookies and similar technologies such as mobile device identifiers, SDKs, and pixels to collect device-specific information, including device type, operating system, unique device ID, and usage data.
