Last Updated: 12/2/2025

1. Cookie Information Storage

Cookie information storage involves small text files placed on devices during platform use. Storage contains browsing behavior and preference data. Cookies provide device recognition, settings memory, platform analysis, and improved user experience. Most browsers accept storage automatically with customizable rejection settings available.

2. Cookie Purpose Types

Cookie purpose types include Essential purposes for core functionality, Functional purposes for settings memory, Analytics purposes for usage analysis, and Performance purposes for speed enhancement. Purpose types serve specific operational and experiential functions. First-party purposes are ours; third-party purposes are external.

3. Required Cookies

Required cookies are mandatory for platform operation and cannot be disabled by users. They support core functions including authentication systems, security measures, session maintenance, and basic site navigation. Without required cookies, essential services like user login, account management, and platform security become non-operational. Marketing information collection is not their purpose.

4. User Analytics Cookies

User analytics cookies help us understand visitor engagement patterns. They collect information regarding page views, traffic origins, user clicks, and duration data. This anonymous aggregated information optimizes platform performance, identifies technical problems, and enhances user experiences. Essential functionality continues without user analytics acceptance.

5. User Preference Cookies

User preference cookies retain your selections and settings for personalized platform interactions. They save information such as language choices, display settings, theme options, and customized layouts. Preference cookies improve usability by remembering configurations between sessions. Disabling user preferences may result in repeated setting adjustments and limited personalization.

6. External Widget Cookies

External widget cookies are placed by outside widgets integrated with our platform, such as analytics tools, advertising networks, and social media widgets. These cookies may monitor user activity across various sites. We do not govern external widget cookies or their operations. Browser settings or widget-provided opt-out tools enable management. Consult widget privacy policies for comprehensive details.

7. Cookie Setting Adjustments

Cookie setting adjustments can be made through browser preference menus. Adjustments allow viewing, deleting, and blocking cookies as desired. Settings can be configured to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify upon cookie setting. Recognize that blocking specific cookies may diminish platform operations and experience quality. Browser help resources offer detailed adjustment guidance.

8. Cookie Retention Policy

Cookie retention policy varies based on type and function. Session retention expires upon browser closure and is temporary in nature. Persistent retention remains on devices for specified timeframes or until user deletion, spanning days to years. Essential cookies generally last session durations, while preference and analytics cookies may persist longer for settings memory and long-term behavior evaluation.

9. Periodic Policy Updates

Periodic policy updates permit Cookie Policy modifications for technology adaptation, legal compliance, or operational improvements. Updates are published on this page with revised effective dates. Substantial updates may receive platform notification or email communication. Platform usage following updates signifies acceptance. Regular periodic review is encouraged.

10. Cookie Assistance Contact

Cookie assistance contact information directs inquiries to our privacy team via website channels. We commit to transparency and prompt concern resolution. Technical assistance for cookie settings or privacy rights is available through support team. Assistance requests receive responses within 5-7 business days standard timeframe.
