What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and assist with personalized advertising. Cookies can be ‘first-party’ (set by the website you are visiting) or ‘third-party’ (set by a domain other than the one you are visiting).
How We Use Cookies
Our website uses both first-party and third-party cookies for several purposes. First-party cookies are primarily necessary for the website to function correctly and securely, and they generally do not collect personally identifiable data. Third-party cookies are typically used for analytics, advertising, and to enhance your overall user experience by understanding how you interact with our website and providing relevant content.
Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies used on our website as follows:
– Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the website to perform its basic functions and enable core features like security, network
management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly. They do not store any personally identifiable information.
– Analytical/Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on a page, and if they encounter error messages. This data helps us understand and improve the performance of our website. These cookies typically collect aggregated and anonymous information.
– Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your language preferences or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They can also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog post.
– Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also
used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.
