What are cookies?
In English, the term “cookie” refers to a small baked treat, but in the context of web browsing, a “cookie” is something entirely different. When you visit our website, a small piece of text called a “cookie” is stored in your browser on your device. This text contains various information about your browsing habits, preferences, content customizations, and more.
There are other technologies that work similarly and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will refer to all these technologies collectively as “cookies.”
The specific uses of these technologies are described in this document.

What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the following:

If cookies are served from a server or domain managed by the website owner, but the information is processed by a third party for its own purposes (e.g., to improve the services or provide advertising), they are considered third-party cookies.
