What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and to provide information to the owners of the website.

Cookies may be either "persistent" cookies or "session" cookies. A persistent cookie will remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie, even after you close your browser. A session cookie will be deleted when you close your browser.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access. You may disable these by changing your browser settings, but this may affect how the website functions.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages visitors go to most often and if they receive error messages. They help us improve how our website works and understand user behavior.

Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for.

Targeting and Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the Services and deliver advertisements on and through the Services.

These third parties may include:

  • Google Analytics (for analytics and measurement)
  • Twitter (for social sharing and advertising)
  • Google Tag Manager (for managing various scripts)
  • Stripe (for payment processing)

Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, as it will no longer be personalized to you.

To manage cookies in your browser, you can:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
  • Edge: Settings → Site permissions → Cookies and site data

Do Not Track

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Due to the lack of a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, our Services currently do not respond to DNT signals from browsers.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update our Cookie Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Cookie Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. You are advised to review this Cookie Policy periodically for any changes.
