Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners. Cookies help provide functionality such as remembering your preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies such as:

• Web Beacons: Small graphic images (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs") that may be included on our sites and services that typically work with cookies to identify our users and user behavior.
• Local Storage: Browser web storage that allows websites to store data in a browser on a device. Local storage is typically persistent and, unlike cookies, data in local storage is not automatically transmitted to the server every time the website is accessed.
• Session Replay Tools: Technologies that help us understand how users interact with our website by recreating the user's journey across our pages.

Types of Cookies We Use

These cookies enable our website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, such as your preferred language or the region you are in. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog.

Additionally, cookies can be classified based on how long they remain on your device:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They enable the website to remember your actions during a browsing session.
