Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the site owners.
Cookies may be set by us (“first-party cookies”) or by third parties whose services we embed on our Platform (“third-party cookies”). Cookies can be “session cookies” (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent cookies” (remaining on your device for a set period).
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, local storage, and fingerprinting scripts. This policy covers all such tracking technologies collectively referred to as “cookies”.

Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals to websites. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We do not currently alter our data collection practices in response to DNT signals but will monitor developments in this area.
Our Platform embeds content from third-party services including YouTube videos, Google Maps, and social media widgets. These services may set their own cookies when their content is loaded, even if you do not interact with them. We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of these third parties:
We may update this Cookies Policy periodically to reflect changes in technology, law, or our data practices. We will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy each time you visit the Platform.
