1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to website owners.
Cookies can be session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). They can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website ("third-party cookies").
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
These cookies are essential for the Site to function properly. They enable core features such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt out of these cookies as the Site cannot function without them.
These cookies collect anonymized information about how visitors use our Site — such as which pages are visited most often and whether visitors receive error messages. This data helps us improve the performance and usability of our Site. We use Umami Analytics, a privacy-focused, cookie-less analytics tool that does not track personal data.
These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog.
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission.
