This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, improve performance, and provide analytics information. We also use similar technologies such as localStorage and sessionStorage for functional features.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies:

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function and cannot be disabled. They are used for:

• Authentication and login sessions
• Security and fraud prevention

Set by Auth0 to manage authentication sessions.

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use the Website. Analytics may collect:

C. Embedded Media & Third-Party Functionality

When you interact with embedded videos or payment flows, third-party providers may set cookies or collect data. These may include:

Stripe.js is required to securely process payments and may set cookies necessary for fraud prevention and transaction security.
