Cookies Policy

We use cookies to ensure that our website functions correctly, provide you with the best possible user experience, and analyze how our site is used.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small files that a web browser stores on your device when you visit websites. They contain information about your interactions with the site, such as login details or preferences. Cookies can also be set by third-party services to provide additional functionality or collect data for analytics purposes.

Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use cookies for various reasons:

  • Authentication: To maintain your login session and ensure that you are securely accessing our website.
  • Session Management: To manage the state of your interactions with our site, such as which pages you have visited and any actions you took on those pages.
  • Preferences and Settings: To remember your language or regional settings to provide a more personalized experience.

Types of Cookies

Our website uses several types of cookies:

Essential Cookies

These are required for the basic functioning of our website. They allow us to identify whether you have logged in securely and maintain your session state.

  • Authentication Tokens
  • Session IDs

Session Cookies

These expire once you close your browser or log out from our site.

  • Temporary login information
  • Navigation history

Persistent Cookies

These remain on your device for a longer period, usually up to 2 years. They are used to:

  • Remember language and regional settings
  • Store user preferences

Functional Cookies

These enable us to improve the functionality of our website.

  • Accessibility features
  • Cookie management

Analytics and Performance Cookies

We use third-party services like Google Analytics to analyze how users interact with our site. This helps us identify areas for improvement, understand traffic patterns, and adjust content accordingly.

Preference and Language Settings

If you have not set your preferences or language settings explicitly, we may store cookies based on browser default settings or the user agent information (the data about the browser).

Cookies Based on User Preferences

  • Language
  • Currency

Login/Session Continuity

We use cookies to maintain continuity of your login session. This is necessary for ensuring that you can pick up where you left off, even after closing and reopening the browser.

Device Recognition

Some cookies are used to recognize devices or browsers across sessions. These help us in providing a more personalized experience by remembering preferences from previous visits.

  • Device ID
  • Browser Fingerprinting

Security-related Cookies

We may use cookies for security purposes, such as:

  • Anti-forgery tokens
  • CSRF protection

Browser Storage Technologies

In addition to traditional cookies, we also utilize browser storage technologies like HTML5 LocalStorage and SessionStorage. These are used similarly but have different lifespan characteristics.

What is the difference between Cookies and other storage options?

Cookies can be thought of as a file stored locally on your device that contains information about how you interact with websites.

Third-party Integrations

We use third-party services to provide additional functionality, such as:

  • Social media sharing
  • Analytics tracking

These integrators may set cookies on our behalf. However, we do not share any personal data or sensitive information through these partnerships without explicit consent from users.

Marketing or Communication Preferences

While we strive to be transparent about cookie usage and provide control options for most types of cookies, there might be cases where third-party integrations override user settings. This includes scenarios such as:

  • Direct mail campaigns
  • Phone solicitations

In these instances, opting out may require contacting the respective service provider directly.

Cookie Consent Management

We respect your choices regarding cookies on our website. If you have declined certain types of cookies (like analytics or performance tracking), this preference is stored in a cookie itself. Therefore, it might be overridden if cookies are cleared.

What if I delete my browsing history?

If you clear all browser data, including cookies and any locally cached site information, some preferences may not persist across sessions until explicitly re-configured upon next visit.

Clearing or Disabling Cookies

You can manage cookie settings in most modern browsers by accessing the preferences menu. Some options include:

  • Deleting specific types of cookies
  • Clearing all browser data

However, if you disable essential cookies (as part of your overall cookie management strategy), this may impact functionality on some parts of our site.

Site Functionality Impact when Cookies are Disabled

If all or most types of cookies are disabled or deleted:

  • Login/session continuity might not function as expected
  • Preferences settings will be lost upon browser closure

We aim to design a clear, user-centric cookie policy. Our goal is transparency in how we use cookies and flexibility for you to control your data sharing preferences.
