1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit.

Cookies may be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (remaining on your device for a set period or until manually deleted).
In addition to cookies, we may use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage. For simplicity, all such technologies are referred to collectively as "cookies" in this policy.

These third parties may set their own cookies and use your data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these third parties.
We do not control the cookies set by third parties and are not responsible for their use of your data. Where required by law, third-party cookies that are not strictly necessary will only be activated after you provide consent.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
Cookie banner: When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the website footer.
Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking all cookies, deleting existing cookies, and setting preferences for specific sites. Note that blocking essential cookies will affect the functionality of our platform. Consult your browser's help documentation for specific instructions.
Opt-out tools: You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You can opt out of interest-based advertising via the Digital Advertising Alliance at optout.aboutads.info (US) or youronlinechoices.eu (EU).
5. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Because there is currently no universal standard for DNT signals, our website does not currently respond to DNT signals. However, you can use the cookie management options described above to control tracking.
6. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, via an in-app notification. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
