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, provide information to site operators, and enable certain features. Cookies may be set by the site you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on the site ("third-party cookies").
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags, which serve similar purposes. When we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we include these related technologies.

We use cookies for the following purposes:
Essential Cookies. These cookies are strictly necessary for the Platform to function. They enable core features such as user authentication, session management, and security protections. You cannot opt out of essential cookies because the Platform cannot operate without them.
Functional Cookies. These cookies remember your preferences and settings to provide a more personalized experience. For example, they may remember your preferred dashboard view, timezone, or notification preferences.
Performance and Analytics Cookies. These cookies help us understand how users interact with the Platform — which pages are visited most frequently, where errors occur, and how features are used. This information is used to improve the Platform's performance and user experience. We do not use third-party advertising analytics platforms.

Do Not Track. Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. We respect DNT signals — when detected, we disable any non-essential analytics cookies.
6. Data Collected via Cookies
The information collected through cookies is governed by our Privacy Policy. Cookies do not give us access to your device or any personal files. The data collected is limited to session management, preferences, and aggregate usage patterns.
