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 a better user experience, and understand how the website performs, and to analyse what works and where it needs improvement.
How do we use cookies?
Like most 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.

In addition, different browsers offer different methods to block and delete cookies used by websites. You can change your browser settings to block/delete cookies. Listed below are links to support documents on how to manage and delete cookies in the major web browsers.
If you are using another web browser, please visit your browser’s official support documentation.
Understanding Session Cookies
Session cookies are temporary files that are created when you visit a website. They are essential for maintaining your browsing session and are deleted once you close your browser. These cookies allow websites to remember your actions during a single visit, such as items added to a shopping cart or form entries.
For example, when you log in to your account, a session cookie is used to keep you logged in as you navigate through different pages. This enhances user experience by providing continuity without the need to log in repeatedly. However, since they are not stored on your device, they do not track your activity across multiple sessions.
The Role of Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies are files that remain on your device for a specified period or until you manually delete them. Unlike session cookies, they are not deleted when you close your browser and are used to remember user preferences and login information for future visits. This can significantly enhance user experience by personalizing content based on previous interactions.
For instance, if you frequently visit a website, persistent cookies can store your preferred language or layout settings, making your next visit more convenient. However, it’s important to manage these cookies carefully, as they can also be used for tracking user behavior over time, raising privacy concerns.
Third-Party Cookies Explained
Third-party cookies are set by domains other than the one you are visiting. They are commonly used for advertising and tracking purposes, allowing advertisers to gather data on user behavior across different websites. This information helps create targeted advertising campaigns tailored to individual preferences.
For example, if you visit a website and see ads related to products you viewed previously, it is likely due to third-party cookies tracking your browsing history. While they can enhance the relevance of ads, many users choose to block these cookies to protect their privacy and limit unwanted tracking.
Cookie Policy Compliance and Regulations
Adhering to cookie policy regulations is crucial for businesses to ensure transparency and protect user privacy. Laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive require websites to inform users about cookie usage and obtain consent before storing cookies on their devices.
This compliance not only fosters trust between the website and its users but also helps avoid potential legal repercussions. Websites must provide clear information about the types of cookies used, their purposes, and how users can manage their preferences, ensuring that users are fully informed about their data privacy rights.
