Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website operators useful information about how their site is being used.
Cookies contain a unique identifier but do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own. They allow a website to recognize your device across different browsing sessions and remember certain information about your preferences and activity.
In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as tracking pixels), local storage objects, and session storage. This Cookie Policy applies collectively to all such tracking technologies.

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Our Platform currently does not respond to DNT signals, as there is no uniform industry standard for how such signals should be interpreted. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our approach accordingly.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this policy indicates when it was most recently revised. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
