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 and to provide information to website owners about user behaviour and preferences.
Cookies can be "session cookies" (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). They can also be "first-party cookies" (set by the website you're visiting) or "third-party cookies" (set by a different domain).
Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies for several purposes:
- Essential functionality: To ensure our website works properly and securely
