5. COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
5.1 Overview of Tracking Technologies
Like many online platforms, we and our service providers use cookies, local storage objects, web beacons, pixels, and other tracking technologies (collectively, “Tracking Technologies”) to automatically collect certain information about your device and interactions with our Services. These Tracking Technologies help us:
- Recognize you and your device across different pages and sessions, enabling seamless navigation and login.
- Remember your preferences (e.g., language or region settings).
- Analyze trends, usage, and activities on our Services for performance and product improvement.
- Facilitate or measure the effectiveness of advertising and marketing campaigns.
5.2 Types of Cookies We Use
We may employ various types of cookies, including but not limited to:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies
- These cookies are essential for the operation of our Services. They enable you to move around the Site and use its features (e.g., secure login). Without these cookies, certain parts of the Services may not function properly.
- Functional or Preference Cookies
- These cookies allow us to remember choices you make (such as your language or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. If you disable these cookies, some of the functionality may become unavailable.
- Analytics or Performance Cookies
- We use these cookies (possibly through third-party analytics providers like Google Analytics) to gather information on how visitors use the Site (e.g., which pages users visit most often, error messages encountered). Aggregated and anonymized statistics derived from these cookies help us identify trends and improve our Services.
- Advertising or Targeting Cookies
- These cookies track your online activity across our Services and other websites to help deliver ads that are more relevant to your interests. They also help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. You may see our ads on other sites or apps if the ad network using these cookies has collected data about your interests over time.
5.3 Other Tracking Methods
- Local Storage Objects (LSOs)
- Technologies like HTML5 or Flash cookies can store more extensive data than standard browser cookies. We may use LSOs for security purposes, remembering settings, or analytics.
- Web Beacons / Pixel Tags
- Small, transparent images or snippets of code on webpages or emails (“pixels”) help us monitor user interactions and track whether an email was opened or a link was clicked.
- Log Files and Device Identifiers
- Servers and applications automatically gather certain log data (e.g., IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages) to analyze trends, maintain the Services, and prevent abuse or fraud.
5.4 Your Choices Regarding Cookies
- Browser Controls
- Most web browsers allow you to accept or reject cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a notification before a cookie is placed. You can usually find these controls under the “Settings” or “Preferences” menu in your browser. Keep in mind that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain features.
- Advertising Industry Opt-Outs
- For interest-based advertising, you can also utilize industry opt-out programs, such as the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) or the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI). These organizations provide tools to help you limit targeted ads from participating companies.
- Users in the European Union may visit Your Online Choices for similar opt-out options.
- Mobile Settings
- On mobile devices, you can typically adjust advertising identifiers and location data in the device settings. For example, iOS offers “Limit Ad Tracking,” and Android devices offer “Opt Out of Ads Personalization.” Check your device’s documentation for instructions.
- Do Not Track (“DNT”)
- Some browsers transmit “DNT” signals. Currently, we do not respond to those signals due to the lack of a consistent industry standard. If and when a final standard is established, we may revisit our approach.
5.5 Third-Party Tracking and Analytics
We may partner with third-party analytics and advertising providers who set their own cookies or other Tracking Technologies to collect information about your usage of the Services and other sites. We do not control these third parties, and their usage of cookies and similar technologies is governed by their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing their policies to learn how they collect and use your data.
6. DATA SECURITY
We employ a variety of technical, organizational, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect and process. While no security measures are foolproof, we strive to maintain an environment that mitigates unauthorized access, misuse, loss, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of the information under our control.

We will make every effort to delete such information as required by applicable laws and regulations. - Jurisdictional Variations
Depending on your place of residence, there may be additional age restrictions or data protection requirements under local law (e.g.,parental consent for minors under 16 in some EEA jurisdictions).
