What Are Cookies?

Cookies are a standard tool used to store information related to website usage.

Cookies are small text files that are automatically created when you visit a website and are stored on your computer, smartphone, or other device. Some cookies only track your activity until you close your browser, after which they are automatically deleted.

Other cookies remain stored in your browser for a set period and are reactivated upon your next visit. In addition to cookies, we may also use tracking pixels—small, invisible images that function similarly to cookies.

The storage duration of a cookie depends on its settings and your browser configuration.

Cookies on our website fall into two main categories:

• Functional Cookies – Help the website remember your choices and provide a smoother experience.
• Analytical Cookies – Help us improve the website by measuring how visitors use it.
