They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow us to recognize your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions.

Beyond cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies, such as:

These technologies collectively help us to enhance your user experience, provide personalized features, ensure the security of our platform, and gather analytics to improve our services.

3. Types of Cookies We Use and Their Purposes

We use various categories of cookies to ensure our platform functions effectively and to enhance your experience. These categories include:

Strictly Necessary Cookies:

These cookies are essential for the operation of our application. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our platform, use a shopping cart, or make use of e-billing services. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like secure login or e-commerce functionalities, cannot be provided.

Examples of usage: Session management to keep you logged in during your session, security features to protect against fraudulent logins, and ensuring consistent display and functionality of our platform.

Functional Cookies:

These cookies recognize you when you return to our application. They enable us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).

Examples of usage: Remembering your language preference, saving accessibility settings like font size or contrast, and storing your location for providing relevant local content.

Analytical or Performance Cookies:

These cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our application when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our application works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. We often use third-party analytics providers like Google Analytics to assist with this.

Examples of usage: Understanding which pages are most and least popular, analyzing user navigation patterns to optimize platform design, tracking error rates to improve application stability, and measuring the effectiveness of our advertising and communications.

Marketing or Advertising Cookies:

These cookies are used to track your visit to our application, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our advertising displayed to you more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose. These cookies are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

Examples of usage: Delivering personalized advertisements that are based on your browsing behavior, showing you advertisements for products or services that you have shown interest in, measuring the success of our marketing campaigns, and enabling 'like' or 'share' buttons on social media platforms.

4. How We Use Cookies: Justification and Purposes

We utilize cookies and similar technologies for the following essential and beneficial purposes:

• Operational Necessity: To ensure the basic functionality and optimal performance of our platform, including site navigation, session management, and core service delivery.
• Performance and Analytics: To analyze how our platform is used, to improve our services, and to understand user interactions, which helps us enhance user experience and platform effectiveness.
• Security and Fraud Prevention: To enhance security measures and help us identify and prevent fraudulent activities, protecting both our platform and our users.

5. Third-Party Cookies

We may allow certain third-party service providers to set cookies and similar technologies on our platform. These third parties include:

• Analytics Providers: Such as Google Analytics. These services help us understand how you use our platform, enabling us to improve it.
• Advertising Partners: These partners deliver targeted advertisements that we believe are relevant to your interests.
• Social Media Platforms: If we integrate social media features (e.g., sharing buttons), platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc., may set cookies to allow functionalities and track your online activity.
• Payment Processors: Such as Stripe, PayPal, etc., which may set cookies to securely process your payment information and prevent fraud.

It is important to note that these third-party cookies are subject to the respective third parties' own cookie and privacy policies, which we encourage you to review. We do not have direct control over these cookies.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences: User Control and Consent

You have the right to control and manage your cookie preferences. You can do this in the following ways:

• Browser Settings: You can typically modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually choose to block all cookies or to accept only cookies from trusted sites. Information on how to control cookies settings for popular browsers can usually be found at the browser's official website (e.g., for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer/Edge). Please note that blocking all cookies may affect your ability to access certain parts of our platform or use some functionalities.
• In-App Cookie Consent Framework: We provide an in-app cookie consent tool that allows you to manage your cookie preferences directly.
• Specific Cookie Opt-Out Tools: For certain third-party services, especially advertising and analytics providers, you may be able to opt-out via specific tools they offer. For example, Google Analytics provides a browser add-on to opt-out of being tracked by their analytics. The Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) also offer tools that allow you to opt-out of targeted advertising from participating companies.

Impact of Cookie Restriction: Please be aware that restricting certain types of cookies may impact your experience on our platform. For instance, disabling functional cookies may mean you have to re-enter your preferences each time you visit, and disabling analytical cookies will mean we have less data to improve our services for you. Disabling marketing cookies will only mean that the advertising will not be tailored to your interests, but you will generally continue to see advertising.

7. Data Retention

The lifespan of cookies varies. Some cookies are "session cookies," meaning they are deleted once you close your browser or application. Others are "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a longer period, up to two years, depending on their purpose. We regularly review our cookie usage and ensure that cookies are not kept longer than necessary for their stated purposes.
