This policy applies to our Website and any other platforms we own or control.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are sent to and stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other mobile devices (“Devices”) for accessing the internet whenever you visit a website or mobile application. Cookies are useful because they allow websites and mobile applications to recognize a user’s Device. Some of the functions that cookies perform can also be achieved using similar technologies, such as web pixels, clear GIFs, and session replay, among others. While this Cookie Policy generally refers to “cookies” throughout, this term is intended to include these related technologies.

If you reject cookies, you may still use our Website, although certain functionality may be reduced or unavailable if you reject essential cookies.
