What are Cookies and Local Storage?

This Cookie and Local Storage Policy explains what cookies are and how we use them, the types of cookies we use, the information we collect using cookies and how that information is used, and how to manage the cookie settings.

Cookies are small text files used to store small pieces of information. They are stored on your device when the website is loaded on your browser. Local storage functions similarly but retains data in your browser without sending it back to the server with each HTTP request. These technologies help us ensure the website functions properly, secure it, provide a better user experience, and analyze what works and where improvements are needed.

How We Use Cookies and Local Storage

Our website uses both first-party and third-party cookies and local storage for several purposes. The first-party cookies and local storage are crucial for the website to function correctly, and they are used to collect essential information, including personally identifiable information such as your name, to enhance site functionality and personalization.

The third-party cookies used on our website are mainly for understanding how the website performs, how you interact with our website, keeping our services secure, providing advertisements that are relevant to you, and all in all providing you with a better and improved user experience and help speed up your future interactions with our website.
