What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your computer or mobile device by a web browser. It usually contains some information about your preferences, settings, or past interactions with our website. Cookies are harmless and don't pose any security risk to your data; they're mainly used for session handling, user authentication, personalization, analytics, and more.
Why Are Cookies Used?
Cookies allow us to remember you when you visit again after logging out, recall the last page you visited within our site (if that functionality is available), understand your preferences for content or presentation styles, and measure how we can improve our services based on aggregated information.
