Please read this policy carefully to understand our practices regarding cookies and your choices.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow websites to recognize your device and store information about your preferences or past actions. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide analytics, personalization, and advertising features.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
2.1 Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility features. These cookies do not require consent and are always active.
- Session cookies for maintaining user sessions
- Security and CSRF protection cookies

2.2 Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the Website, including which pages are visited, how long users stay on pages, and what actions they take. This helps us improve the Website's functionality and user experience. We offer two levels of analytics consent:
Anonymous Analytics (Always Enabled)
We collect anonymized traffic data by default without requiring explicit consent. This includes page views, referrer source, device type, and browser information. Your IP address is automatically anonymized. This data helps us understand how visitors interact with the Website to detect issues, monitor security, and improve performance.
- Google Analytics (Anonymous Mode): Anonymized IP, no user behavioral profiling, no advertising signals
Enhanced Analytics (Optional)
With your consent, we enable enhanced analytics features that track user behavior patterns, session recordings, interaction heatmaps, and funnel analysis. This requires explicit opt-in via our cookie consent banner.
- Google Analytics (Enhanced Mode): Full data collection with behavioral tracking, user profiling, and advertising signals. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.
- Microsoft Clarity: Session recordings, heatmaps, and behavioral analytics. This requires enhanced analytics consent. For more information, see Microsoft's Privacy Policy.
