1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site owners. Cookies can be either session-based, meaning they are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent, meaning they remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, local storage objects, and scripts. These technologies function in a comparable way and are covered by this policy.
