2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website (such as this Site). They allow the website to recognize your device and remember if you have been to the website before, among other functions. The specific functions of cookies – as used on this Site – are described below.
3. THE TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE AND WHY
We utilize various types of cookies on the Site to ensure its functionality, provide a seamless user experience, and support our analytics and advertising efforts. Below is a list of the cookies we use and a detailed explanation of their categories:
a. Necessary Cookies: Necessary cookies are critical for the proper functioning of the Site. They enable essential features such as:
- Ensuring that only authorized users can access specific areas of the Site;
- Protecting user accounts and preventing fraudulent activities; and
- Maintaining user session while users navigate through the Site, so users don’t have to repeatedly log in.
Without these cookies, certain features of the Site, such as account login or secure access to user data, may not work as intended. These cookies do not store any personal data and are required for the Site to operate effectively.
b. Analytics Cookies: Analytics cookies are used to collect and analyze information about how visitors interact with the Site. These cookies help us to understand:
- The number of visitors accessing the Site;
- How users navigate through the pages;
- The performance of specific pages or features; and
- User preferences and behavior trends.
The insights from these cookies allow us to improve the Site’s design, performance, and usability. The information collected is typically aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not identify individual users but rather provides an overall view of user activity.
c. Advertising Cookies: Advertising cookies enable us to deliver personalized and relevant ads to our visitors. These cookies are used for:
- Tracking your browsing habits to serve ads tailored to your interests;
- Measuring the success and impact of our marketing campaigns; and
- Showing you our ads on other platforms (like social media) after you’ve visited the Site.
Most of these advertising cookies are placed by the third-party advertising partners we use. For example, Microsoft places cookies on the Site to gather anonymous analytics for use in advertising our services on their platforms.
d. Functional Cookies: Functional cookies enhance the user experience by enabling additional features and remembering user preferences, such as:
- Language and region settings;
- Login details, so you don’t need to re-enter them every time you visit; and
- Customizations you’ve made to the Site, such as font sizes or layout preferences.
These cookies ensure that your interaction with the Site feels personal and consistent with your expectations.
e. Other Cookies: Other cookies are those that do not neatly fall into the categories mentioned above. These might include cookies used for:
- Testing new features and designs;
- Temporary functionality during promotional campaigns; and
- Experimental tools to enhance the Site's performance.
In some cases, these cookies may not have a fixed category or purpose and are subject to change as the Site evolves.
OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

These technologies are similar to cookies but may perform specific functions, such as tracking if a recipient has opened their mail, gathering anonymous analytics on specific pages, and similar actions.
LEGAL BASIS AND LEGITIMATE INTERESTS
As required by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and similar laws, we rely on legitimate interest as our legal basis for collecting information through cookies on the Site. Our legitimate interests may include
- ensuring the best user experience and to continuously improve the Site;
