1. Small File Cookies

Small file cookies are text files placed on your device during platform visits. Small files contain browsing activity and user preference data. Cookie purposes include device recognition, preference memory, platform analysis, and experience enhancement. Browsers typically accept small files automatically with available settings modifications.

2. Cookie Categories

Cookie categories include Essential cookies for required functionality, Functional cookies for preference retention, Analytics cookies for usage understanding, and Performance cookies for speed optimization. Categories serve distinct purposes ensuring operational integrity and experience enhancement. First-party cookies originate from us, while third-party cookies come from external providers.

3. Essential Function Cookies

Essential function cookies are necessary for platform functioning and cannot be disabled. They power core services including user authentication, security features, session administration, and essential navigation tools. Without essential function cookies, vital services like login functionality, account control, and security measures would fail. Marketing data collection is excluded from their purpose.

4. Visitor Analytics Cookies

Visitor analytics cookies help us comprehend platform interaction behaviors. They gather data about visited pages, traffic origins, clicking patterns, and session times. This aggregated anonymous data improves performance, detects technical issues, and enhances overall experience. Opting out of visitor analytics does not impact core functionality.

5. Preference Storage Cookies

Preference storage cookies retain your choices and configurations for personalized platform experiences. They save information including language selections, display options, theme preferences, and layout customizations. Storage cookies improve usability by preserving preferences between sessions. Disabling preference storage may require resetting choices each visit and limit personalization capabilities.

6. Affiliate Service Cookies

Affiliate service cookies are placed by affiliated services embedded in our platform, such as analytics systems, advertising services, and social widgets. These cookies may monitor activity across various sites. We lack control over affiliate service cookies or operations. Browser settings or service-provided opt-out mechanisms enable management. Consult service privacy policies for comprehensive details.

7. Managing Cookie Access

Managing cookie access occurs through browser preference tools. Access management allows viewing, deleting, and blocking cookies according to needs. Management can be set to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or alert when cookies are placed. Note that blocking specific cookies may reduce platform operations and user experience quality. Browser help sections contain detailed access management guidance.

8. Cookie Expiry Standards

Cookie expiry standards vary based on type and function. Session expiry cookies expire upon browser closure and are temporary in nature. Persistent expiry cookies stay on devices for specified timeframes or until user deletion, spanning days to years. Essential cookies typically last session standards, while preference and analytics cookies may persist longer for settings memory and long-term behavior evaluation.

9. Periodic Policy Updates

Periodic policy updates permit Cookie Policy modifications for technology adaptation, legal compliance, or operational improvements. Updates are published on this page with revised effective dates. Substantial updates may receive platform notification or email communication. Platform usage following updates signifies acceptance. Regular periodic review is encouraged.
