What are cookies?
We may collect information through cookies or similar technologies. Cookies are small text files containing small amounts of information that we download onto your computer or device when you visit our website. So, when we mention “you” in this section, we’re referring to your computer. These cookies can be recognized on future visits, allowing us to remember you.
Cookies come in various types. Below, we’ve outlined the main categories of cookies commonly used. This section covers all types and categories of cookies, not just the ones on our website.
First-party cookies are set by the website a user is visiting. Third-party cookies, on the other hand, are placed by a domain different from the one the user is visiting. If a user visits a website and another entity places a cookie, it’s considered a third-party cookie.
Persistent cookies stay on the user’s device even after they leave the website. These cookies are activated each time the user revisits the website that originally created them.
Session cookies enable website operators to track a user’s activities during a single browser session. This session begins when the user opens the browser and ends when they close it. These cookies are created temporarily and are deleted as soon as the browser is closed.
