1) What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer/mobile) when you visit a website. They help websites work properly, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use the site.
We may also use similar technologies (such as pixels or tags) for analytics and advertising measurement.
2) How we use cookies
We use cookies for these purposes:
A) Essential cookies (Always on)
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They help with:
- Security and fraud/spam prevention
- Load balancing, caching, and performance
- Basic site functions and settings
You cannot reliably disable essential cookies without affecting site performance.
B) Analytics cookies (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics to understand website usage (for example: traffic sources, popular pages, time on site). This helps us improve navigation and content.
Google Analytics may set cookies to collect usage data. You can control analytics cookies through:
- Our cookie consent banner/tool (where available)
- Your browser cookie settings
- Google Analytics opt-out tools provided by Google
C) Advertising cookies (Planned)
We plan to display ads in the future (for example, through Google and other ad partners). When ads are enabled, advertising cookies may be used to:
- Measure ad performance
- Limit repeated ads
- Show more relevant ads (where applicable)
When ads go live, we may update this policy with additional details.
3) Cookie consent and managing preferences
We use a cookie consent banner/tool to manage non-essential cookies (such as analytics and advertising cookies) where required. Using the cookie tool, you can:
- Accept non-essential cookies
- Reject non-essential cookies
- Change your preferences anytime via the “Cookie Settings” option (if enabled)
You can also control cookies at the browser level:
- You can delete stored cookies
- You can block cookies completely
- You can set cookies to be cleared when you close the browser
Note: Blocking cookies may reduce website functionality.
4) Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services we use (such as Google Analytics and, in the future, ad partners). These third parties may process data according to their own privacy policies.
5) Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page, and the “Last updated” date will be revised.
