Cookies Policy

We use cookies to enhance your experience on our website, improve site functionality, and ensure the best possible performance. This policy outlines what we do with these small files that are stored on your device when you visit our site.

What are Cookies?

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device (computer or mobile) by a web browser. These files contain information that helps websites remember you and customize the content, layout, and functionality of pages for future visits. Most browsers automatically accept cookies as part of their standard operation; however, users can configure settings to manage them.

Why are Cookies Used?

Cookies serve several purposes:

• Authentication: To verify user login credentials
• Personalization: To tailor content based on your preferences or location

2. Session Cookies
   • Temporary files that exist only during your browser session (until you close the application or log out).
   • Used for authentication, e-commerce transactions, and content streaming.
3. Persistent Cookies
