1. 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 efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners. Cookies may be stored temporarily for the duration of a browser session or for a longer period depending on their type and purpose.
Similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, local storage, and session storage may also be used in ways that are functionally equivalent to cookies. This policy covers all such technologies collectively.

2.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content on other websites. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device.

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences in the following ways:
