1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are essential for a modern, interactive web experience. We also use similar technologies, like your browser's localStorage, to store information. In this policy, "cookies" refers to both cookies and these related technologies.

They can be "session" cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain on your device for a set period). They can also be "first-party" (set by us) or "third-party" (set by our trusted partners).

2. How and Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to fulfill several key purposes, categorized for your understanding. You have control over non-essential cookies.
