Cookies Policy

We use cookies to provide a more tailored experience for our users and improve the overall functionality of our website.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small files stored on your device (computer, tablet or mobile) when you visit a website. They allow websites to store information about your interactions with that site so it can recall them later. This helps us personalize your browsing experience and tailor content according to your preferences.

Why do We Use Cookies?

We use cookies for several purposes:

• User authentication: To authenticate our users, we may store their login credentials in a session cookie.
• Session management: Session cookies help manage user sessions on the website. When you log in or complete certain actions, a session is created to track your activities until it expires due to inactivity.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are critical for our site's functionality and cannot be disabled:

1. Security-related cookies: These protect users from malicious activity.
2. User authentication tokens: These allow logged-in users access restricted areas of the website.

We do not need consent for these types of essential cookies, as they provide an indispensable part of your online interaction with us.

Session Cookies

2. Session management tokens: These can be used for single sign-on functionality across multiple devices or websites.

To delete persistent cookies entirely requires clearing your browser's cache.
