Cookies Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, remember your preferences, and provide analytics and advertising functionality. Cookies can be 'first-party' (set by the website you are visiting) or 'third-party' (set by other domains such as analytics or advertising providers).

We use cookies to improve our site functionality, remember your preferences, measure performance, provide secure authentication, and deliver a more personalized browsing and advertising experience. Specific uses include:

Functional / Essential

These cookies are required for the basic operation of our website (session management, security, form handling). Without them, some features may not work.

Preference Cookies

Allow the site to remember choices you make (language, region, theme) and provide enhanced, personalized features.

Analytics & Performance

Help us understand how visitors interact with our site - pages visited, time spent, bounce rates - so we can improve content and usability (e.g., Google Analytics).

Marketing & Advertising

Used to deliver and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, build audiences, and limit repeated exposure to the same ads (e.g., Google Ads, Meta pixel).

Security

Used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity and protect your data (e.g., CSRF tokens, security-related session cookies).

Session cookies

Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. We use these for login sessions and to keep track of your current activity on the site.

Persistent cookies

Remain on your device until they expire or are deleted. These are commonly used for remembering preferences and login tokens across visits.

First-party cookies

Set directly by our domain to support site functionality and preferences.

Third-party cookies

Set by external services we integrate (analytics, advertising, social widgets). These are governed by the third-party's privacy policy in addition to ours.

Secure & HttpOnly flags

Some cookies are marked Secure to restrict them to HTTPS connections, and HttpOnly to prevent access from client-side scripts (reduces XSS risk).

Examples of the kinds of cookies and tracking technologies that may be present on our site (names vary by provider and configuration):

Analytics

Google Analytics: _ga, _gid - used to distinguish users and sessions for reporting and optimization.

Advertising

Google Ads / DoubleClick: IDE, AID - used for ad targeting and frequency capping. Meta Pixel: _fbp - used for ad measurement and audience building.

Functional

Session cookie for logged-in users, language preferences, and UI customizations (cookie names depend on implementation).

When you first visit our site we present a cookie consent banner (or modal) asking you to accept or manage cookie preferences. Your explicit consent is requested for non-essential cookies (analytics, marketing). You may update or withdraw consent at any time via the cookie settings control available on the site.

You can manage cookies in several ways:

Browser settings

Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete cookies, or block third-party cookies. Please check your browser's help documentation (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) for specific instructions.

Cookie banner / settings

Use the cookie preference center on our website to accept or reject categories of cookies (essential, analytics, marketing).

Platform-level opt-out

For ads personalization you can visit platform opt-out tools such as Google’s Ad Settings, Facebook’s Ad Preferences, or the Network Advertising Initiative to opt out of targeted advertising.

Note on functionality

Disabling cookies may impact site functionality, reduce personalization, and prevent certain features (e.g., saved preferences, login persistence) from working.

Some parts of our site rely on third-party services which may set cookies (analytics, widgets, social plugins, embedded video). We do not control those third-party cookies - please consult the third party’s privacy/cookie policy for details and opt-out options.

Examples

YouTube embeds may set tracking/analytics cookies by Google; social sharing widgets may set cookies for authentication and tracking.

Cookie expiration depends on the cookie type and provider. Session cookies expire at end of session. Persistent cookies may last from a few days up to several years depending on purpose (e.g., analytics, advertising). Specific expiration times are controlled by the cookie issuer (our site or third party).

We may aggregate or anonymize cookie-derived data for reporting and product improvement. Aggregated/anonymized data does not identify individuals and may be retained for longer periods.

For users in the EU/EEA, we rely on the following lawful bases: (a) consent for non-essential cookies (analytics, marketing); (b) legitimate interests for strictly necessary cookies and some analytics where appropriate balancing tests are done. You may withdraw consent at any time (this does not affect processing that occurred before withdrawal).

Our site is not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal details from minors and our cookie usage is designed accordingly.
