1.WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Browser cookies are small text files containing data that are stored on your device. These files, along with similar technologies collectively referred to as "Cookies" in this policy, allow websites and applications to retain information or access stored information to activate specific functionalities and differentiate between users. These tools are employed by most online service providers to enable efficient navigation, secure data, understand usage, store preferences, and enhance overall user experience. More details on cookies can be found at www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.
Cookies originating from the site owner are termed "first-party cookies," while those set by other entities are "third-party cookies." For more details on third-party cookies, visit the respective third party's website.
2.WHY DO WE USE COOKIES?
We or our partners may install cookies and related technologies on your device when you use our sites and services.
Our usage of cookies serves several purposes:
Essential Functions These cookies are crucial for the operation of our services and cannot be deactivated. They respond to your service requests like setting privacy settings, logging in, or completing forms, and include security cookies to thwart unauthorized access.
Performance Monitoring We deploy these cookies to count visits and traffic sources to gauge and enhance our service performance. They help identify popular or problematic areas, track user movement within the site, and swiftly address service issues.
Functional Enhancements These cookies remember your selections (such as your language or region) and personalize our services accordingly.

3.COOKIE DURATION ON YOUR DEVICE AND VPN USAGE
Cookies may be "session" or "persistent" based on their duration. Session cookies last until you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain until a specified expiration time.
If you use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to access our website, please be aware that VPNs can mask your actual location by assigning you an IP address from a different geographical area. While VPNs can enhance your privacy and security online, they may also impact the accuracy and relevance of the content and services we provide, including advertisements and regulatory compliance features such as cookie banners.
We strive to comply with the strictest privacy laws, such as the GDPR, regardless of your apparent location. However, using a VPN might lead to a scenario where you do not see the appropriate version of our cookie consent banner. We encourage you to manage your cookie preferences manually via our Cookie Preference Center to ensure that your choices are respected.
For the most accurate service and compliance with regional legal requirements, consider accessing our services without a VPN. If you choose to use a VPN, please review your privacy settings regularly to align with your actual location and legal protections entitled to you.
