1) What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies help websites recognize your device, remember preferences, and understand how visitors interact with pages.
Cookies can be:
- Session cookies (deleted when you close your browser), or
- Persistent cookies (remain on your device until they expire or you delete them).
2) Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Run the Site effectively (basic site functionality and performance)
- Improve user experience (remember settings and preferences)
- Understand traffic and usage (analytics and performance measurement)
- Support advertising (if ads are enabled, to measure and manage ad delivery)
3) Types of Cookies We May Use
A) Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the Site to function properly. They typically enable:
- page navigation

You can disable these in your browser, but the Site may not work correctly.
B) Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand:

We use this information to improve structure, content presentation, and site speed.

They help provide a smoother experience.
D) Advertising and Targeting Cookies (If Enabled)
If the Site runs ads, advertising partners may use cookies to:
- show ads that are more relevant
- measure ad performance
- limit how often you see the same ad
- detect invalid or fraudulent activity
These cookies may be set by third parties and may track your browsing activity across websites.
4) Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be placed by third-party services that appear on our Site, such as:
- analytics providers
- advertising networks
- embedded content providers (e.g., video or social media embeds)
These third parties may process data under their own privacy/cookie policies. We encourage you to review those policies directly.
5) Cookie Consent (UK/EEA)
If you are in the UK/EEA, you may see a cookie banner or consent tool. Where required by law:
- Non-essential cookies (analytics/advertising) will be used only after consent.
- You can update your choices at any time via your browser settings, and if available, our cookie preferences tool.
6) How to Control or Delete Cookies
You can manage cookies in several ways:
A) Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to:

- delete cookies
- block cookies from specific sites
- block all cookies
Browser instructions vary by browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari).
B) Opting Out of Interest-Based Ads
If advertising is enabled, you may be able to opt out of interest-based advertising through industry opt-out tools and your device settings. Note: opting out does not remove ads; it may make them less personalised.
C) Do Not Track (DNT)
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track.” There is no universal standard for how websites respond to DNT signals, so our Site may not respond to DNT in a consistent way.
7) Similar Technologies
We may also use similar tools such as:
- pixels/tags (small code snippets to understand page usage)
- local storage (to store limited preferences)
- server logs (to record basic request information)
These technologies support similar purposes as cookies: performance, analytics, and security.
