Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites. Similar technologies may include local storage, session identifiers, and server-side session tokens used to keep services functional and secure.

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies and related technologies primarily for technical and security purposes. Depending on feature usage, cookies may help us:

• Maintain session continuity across requests.
• Protect against abuse, repeated malicious requests, and automated attacks.
• Remember basic interface or operational preferences where implemented.
• Support diagnostics and reliability for service operation.

3. Cookie Categories

Cookie technologies used by this site may fall into one or more of the following categories:

• Strictly necessary cookies: required for core service functionality and security.
• Functional cookies: used to remember choices and improve user experience.
• Security cookies: used for abuse prevention, risk detection, and request integrity.
• Account cookies: used to keep registered users signed in, protect sessions, and support email-verified account features.
• Advertising cookies: may be used by Google and other advertising partners to serve ads, measure performance, prevent fraud, limit repeated ads, and personalize ads where permitted.
• Performance or analytics technologies: may be used to evaluate service stability and usage trends, if enabled.

4. Third-Party And Google Advertising Cookies

Some technical components may involve third-party infrastructure providers, such as CDN, hosting, security, advertising, analytics, or consent-management services. Those providers may set or process cookies according to their own policies when required for delivery, traffic filtering, security, advertising, measurement, or consent handling.

If Google AdSense or Google advertising products are enabled, Google may use cookies associated with domains such as doubleclick.net or Google domains to serve ads on this site. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this website or other websites.

Google's advertising cookies enable Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and other sites on the Internet. Learn more at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

5. Cookie Duration

• Session cookies: expire when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies: remain for a defined period or until deleted manually.

Retention periods are set according to technical need, security requirements, and legal obligations.

6. Managing Cookies

You can control or delete cookies through browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect service functionality, including conversion flow, request security, or download delivery.

• Use browser privacy controls to clear stored cookies.
• Block third-party cookies if supported by your browser.
• Set browser rules for cookie expiration or site-level exceptions.
• Opt out of personalized Google advertising through Google Ads Settings.
• Learn about third-party advertising opt-outs at aboutads.info.

7. Global Privacy Controls And Do Not Track

Some browsers provide privacy signals such as "Do Not Track" or similar controls. Because there is no single mandatory technical standard across jurisdictions, signal handling may vary. We continue to evaluate practical support where appropriate.

8. Legal Basis For Cookie Use

Where required by law, our use of strictly necessary cookies is based on legitimate interest or technical necessity for secure service operation. Optional cookies, if introduced, may rely on consent as required by applicable law.

For users in regions where consent is required for advertising cookies, local storage, or personalized ads, we may display a consent message before those technologies are used. You can change browser-level cookie settings at any time.

9. Changes To This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when technologies, legal requirements, or service operations change. The effective date indicates the latest published version.
