This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, your choices regarding cookies, and how we comply with applicable privacy laws including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the ePrivacy Directive, and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect and process your personal data.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners information about how their site is being used.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit our website, our servers send a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. On subsequent visits, the cookie is sent back to our servers, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences. Cookies can be "session cookies" (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

2.2 Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use:

  • Pixels (Web Beacons): Small invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether content has been viewed
  • Local Storage: Data stored in your browser that persists until manually cleared
  • Session Storage: Data stored in your browser for the duration of a session
  • Device Fingerprinting: Collecting device attributes to create a unique identifier
  • SDKs: Software development kits in mobile applications that perform similar functions

When we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we include these similar technologies unless otherwise specified.
