What are cookies?
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are and how we use them, the types of cookies we use i.e, the information we collect using cookies and how that information is used, and how to manage the cookie settings.
Cookies are small text files that are used to store small pieces of information. They are stored on your device when the website is loaded on your browser. These cookies help us make the website function properly, make it more secure, provide better user experience, and understand how the website performs and to analyze what works and where it needs improvement.
How do we use cookies?
As most of the online services, our website uses first-party and third-party cookies for several purposes. First-party cookies are mostly necessary for the website to function the right way, and they do not collect any of your personally identifiable data.
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.
Your consent and choice
We use the CookieYes consent management platform together with Google Consent Mode v2 to handle cookie choices on this site. If you visit us from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, California, or Brazil, you will see a consent banner on your first visit. You can accept all cookies, reject everything except those that are strictly necessary, or customise your choice category-by-category. Until you make a selection, no analytics, advertising, or other non-essential tracking will run.
You can change your preferences at any time using the “Manage Cookies” widget that appears on every page, or by clicking the Open cookie preferences button further down this page. Withdrawing consent is just as easy as granting it.
