Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They help websites remember your actions and preferences (like login, language, and settings) and allow us to keep the site secure and improve performance. We also use similar technologies such as SDKs, pixels, local storage, and device IDs (collectively "cookies" in this Policy).

2. Who places cookies?

• First-party cookies are set by us.
• Third-party cookies are set by partners (e.g., analytics or content providers) to help us measure usage, deliver features, and keep the platform reliable.

3. How we use cookies (categories)

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) — always on

These cookies are required for the Services to work (security, account login, session management, consent storage, load balancing). You can't switch them off via our banner, but you can block them in your browser settings (the site may not function correctly).

3.2 Performance & Analytics — consent-based

Help us understand how visitors use the Services (pages viewed, clicks, time on page, app stability, crash reports). We use this data in aggregate to improve speed, design, and features.

3.3 Functional — consent-based

Remember choices such as language, region, or UI preferences, and provide enhanced, more personal features.

3.4 Advertising/Marketing — consent-based

Used (if enabled) to measure campaigns, prevent fraud, and show more relevant messages. We do not run behavioural ads without your prior consent.

6. Managing your cookie choices

You control cookies in two ways:

1. Our cookie banner / settings

• On first visit, choose Accept all, Reject non-essential, or Customize.
• You can update your choices at any time in Cookie Settings (link in footer or account menu).

2. Your browser settings

• Most browsers let you block, delete, or limit cookies.
• Blocking essential cookies may break login, security, or key features.
• Instructions: visit your browser's help pages (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

7. Mobile app technologies

In our apps, we may use SDKs and device identifiers for the same purposes as cookies (security, analytics, performance, crash diagnostics). You can reset your device advertising ID and/or limit ad tracking in your device settings.

8. Third-party cookies and links

Some features rely on third-party services (e.g., analytics, content delivery). These parties may set their own cookies and have their own privacy practices. We recommend reviewing their policies. External links from our Services are subject to those third parties' terms.

9. Data retention

• Consent records (your cookie choices) are retained for up to 12 months or as required by law, then we will ask again.
• Analytics data is retained only as long as necessary and typically in aggregated or pseudonymized form.

10. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer "Do Not Track" signals. There is no industry standard for responding to these signals. We respect your preferences through our Cookie Settings and consent tools instead.

11. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. We'll post the revised version with a new Effective date. Material updates may be highlighted within the Services.
