1. Overview
This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website, and the choices you have. It applies to cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and pixel tags) used on our pages and in our web-based tools.
Depending on your location and the features you use, certain cookies may require your consent. Where required, you can manage your preferences via our cookie banner or your browser settings.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve efficiency, and provide information to website operators.
Some technologies operate similarly to cookies (for example, local storage or SDK identifiers). For simplicity, we refer to these collectively as “cookies” in this policy.
- First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting.
- Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the website you are visiting.
- Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them.
3. How we use cookies
We use cookies to support core website functionality, maintain security, and improve user experience. Where allowed, we also use cookies to understand how visitors interact with our pages.
- To enable basic site functions (navigation, language selection, and page routing).
- To protect the Services, prevent abuse, and support security controls.
- To remember your preferences (for example, language and display choices).
- To measure performance and improve content (aggregated usage patterns).
- To support operational diagnostics, error detection, and troubleshooting.
We aim to minimize the number of cookies used and only deploy non-essential cookies where appropriate and, when required, with consent.
4. Types of cookies we use
Cookies generally fall into the categories below. The categories used on our website may vary depending on the features and pages you access.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions such as setting privacy preferences, logging in (where applicable), or filling in forms. Without these cookies, key features may not work.
Performance and analytics cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve site performance. They help us understand which pages are most and least popular and how visitors move around the site. Information is aggregated and, where applicable, may be processed by analytics providers.
Functional cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering selections and preferences. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
Security and fraud prevention cookies
These cookies help us detect suspicious activity, protect accounts and forms from abuse, and maintain the integrity of our Services. They may include rate-limit signals, session protection, or anti-automation indicators.
5. Consent and lawful basis
Where required by applicable law, we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent as they are essential for providing the website and requested features.
- You can accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies using our cookie banner (where available).
- You can change your preferences later by clearing cookies in your browser and revisiting our pages.
- Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal.
- If you block cookies, some site features may not function as intended.
If you are using a device or browser managed by an organization, your administrator may set policies that affect your cookie choices.
6. How to manage cookies
You can manage cookies in several ways. Most browsers allow you to control cookies through settings, including deleting existing cookies and blocking future cookies.
- Browser settings: delete or block cookies; configure per-site permissions.
- Private browsing: limits some cookie persistence but may not block all technologies.
- Device settings: some mobile platforms allow limiting tracking or resetting identifiers.
- Do Not Track: some browsers send DNT signals (see below).
- Third-party opt-outs: some providers offer additional opt-out mechanisms.
If you disable cookies, we may still use strictly necessary cookies to maintain essential functions such as security protections and basic navigation.
7. Cookie duration and retention
Cookies may be session-based (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (stored for a longer period). Persistent cookies expire automatically after a set duration or can be removed earlier by you.
Retention periods vary depending on the cookie’s purpose. We seek to keep durations proportionate and to use shorter retention where feasible.
8. Third-party cookies and embedded services
Some pages may contain embedded tools or content provided by third parties. These third parties may set their own cookies or similar technologies. We do not control third-party cookies and encourage you to review the relevant provider policies.
- Third-party cookies may collect information about your device and interactions.
- Third-party processing may occur outside your country of residence.
- Third-party cookies may be used for analytics, functionality, or security purposes.
- Blocking third-party cookies may affect embedded functionality.
Where we use third-party providers, we aim to select reputable providers and apply contractual protections where appropriate.
9. Do Not Track (DNT)
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” feature that sends a signal to websites to request that your browsing not be tracked. Because there is no uniform industry standard for interpreting DNT signals, our response may vary.
Where required by law, we apply consent mechanisms regardless of DNT signals. You can always control cookies through the methods described in this policy.
10. Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookies Policy to reflect changes in technologies, legal requirements, or our business practices.
The current version will always be available on this page. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice where appropriate.
