1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites function properly, operate more efficiently, and provide comprehensive reporting information regarding user behaviour.
2. Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the overall experience on our platform. Third parties may also serve cookies through our website for analytics, advertising, and affiliate tracking purposes.
