1. What are Cookies?
Browser cookies are text files containing small pieces of data that can be downloaded to your computer or mobile device. Browser cookies and other similar technologies (referred to as "Cookies" collectively in this Cookie Policy) enable websites and applications to store information or facilitate access to information stored on your device, enabling specific functionalities and distinguishing you from other visitors. Most websites and app providers use these technologies to allow users to navigate efficiently between pages, ensure the security of web pages or applications, understand how their websites are used, remember user preferences, and overall enhance user experiences. For more information about Cookies and their use, please visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.
Cookies set by website operators are referred to as "first-party Cookies," while Cookies set by parties other than the website operator are referred to as "third-party Cookies." You should consult the third party's website for more information on how they use Cookies.

2. Purposes of Our Cookie Usage
When you visit our website and services, we or companies we collaborate with may place Cookies and similar technologies (such as web beacons, software development kits ("SDKs"), pixels, APIs, mobile advertising identifiers, tags, and local storage) on your computer or other devices.
We use Cookies for the following purposes:
- Strictly Necessary Purposes: These Cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our services and cannot be turned off. They are typically set only when you perform actions that require a service, such as setting privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms. This category also includes Cookies for security purposes, such as preventing unauthorized access attempts.
- Performance Purposes: We use these Cookies to count visits and traffic sources, measure and improve our service's performance. They help us understand which pages are the most popular, how visitors move between our website and app, and promptly address any errors occurring in the service to provide a better experience.
- Functional Purposes: These Cookies are used to remember choices you make, such as your country or language preferences, and customize our services based on your preferences.
-Targeting Purposes: We use both first-party and third-party Cookies for advertising and measurement purposes. Advertising Cookies are used to deliver personalized ads on our services or on other third-party websites that may be relevant to you or your interests. This means that after visiting our services, you may see advertisements related to our services elsewhere on the internet. These Cookies are also used to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns but do not directly identify your personal information.
In summary, we use Cookies to provide a better user experience, improve service performance, remember user preferences, and for targeted advertising and ad performance measurement. Please note that some Cookies (such as strictly necessary Cookies) are necessary and cannot be turned off, while others can be enabled or disabled based on your choices.

3. How Long Do Cookies Stay on Your Browsing Device?
The retention time of Cookies on your browsing device depends on whether they are "persistent" or "session" Cookies. Session Cookies are only retained on your device until you close your browser. Persistent Cookies, on the other hand, are set to expire automatically after a certain duration (e.g., days, weeks, or months). This means:
- Session Cookies: These Cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They are typically used to temporarily store information related to your current session, such as login status or shopping cart contents, and are deleted once you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These Cookies have a longer expiration period and can be retained on your device even after you close your browser. They are used to store longer-term information, such as your preference settings or advertising tracking data. These Cookies will expire automatically based on the duration defined for each of them.
Different Cookies may have different expiration times, depending on the settings of the website or application and the purpose of the Cookie. This helps websites and applications retain necessary information over different time periods to improve user experiences or provide specific functionalities.
