1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how their site is being used.
Cookies are stored in your browser and can be read by the website that placed them the next time you visit. Cookies themselves do not contain personally identifiable information, but they may be linked to personal information that you have previously provided to us. Cookies cannot access, read, or modify other data on your device.
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also called pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage, and session storage. This policy covers all such tracking technologies collectively, which we refer to as "cookies" for brevity.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorise the cookies we use based on two characteristics: their lifespan and their purpose.
By lifespan:
- Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your browser session. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They are essential for keeping you logged in and navigating pages without losing your progress.
- Persistent cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them manually. They allow us to remember your preferences when you return to our Platform.
By purpose:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. Without them, core features like navigation and security would not work. You cannot opt out of these cookies.

- Analytics Cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Platform by collecting anonymous, aggregated information. We use this data to improve the Platform's performance and user experience.
