3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
3.1 Use of Cookies
In our commitment to provide a seamless and personalized user experience, we employ the use of "cookies". Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website, used to make user experiences more efficient. They enable our website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
3.2 Types of Cookies
We use several types of cookies for different purposes:
Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. We use session cookies to establish and continue a user session on our website.

Alongside cookies, we use similar tracking technologies like web beacons (also known as pixel tags) that help us better manage content on our website by informing us what content is effective. These are tiny graphics files with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. Unlike cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages.

These measures include physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your data from any unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.

We use secure networks to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and other advanced technology to prevent unauthorized access.
6.6 No Absolute Security
However, no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. In the event of a security breach that affects your personal data, we will take appropriate steps to address it, in accordance with our legal obligations, which may include notifying you and relevant authorities.
