Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website operators information about how visitors use their site.

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage, and session storage. References to “cookies” in this policy include these similar technologies unless otherwise stated.

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of the Services. They enable core functionalities such as security, session management, and accessibility. You cannot opt out of these cookies as the Services would not function properly without them.

2.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Services, such as which pages are visited most often and whether visitors encounter error messages. This information is used to improve how the Services work. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

2.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences and settings. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.

2.4 Marketing and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are typically placed by advertising networks with our permission.

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these third-party cookies. The third parties that set cookies on the Services include:

• Google Analytics: Web analytics service that tracks and reports website traffic. For more information, visit Google's privacy policy.
• LinkedIn: Professional networking platform used for analytics and marketing purposes.

These third parties may combine information collected on our Services with information collected on other websites or services to provide measurement services and targeted advertisements. Please refer to the respective privacy policies of these third parties for more details.

You have several options for managing cookies:

4.1 Cookie Consent

When you first visit the Services, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the cookie preferences link in the footer of our website.

4.2 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these settings in the “Options” or “Preferences” menu of your browser. The following links provide information on how to manage cookies in common browsers:

• Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies
• Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy
• Microsoft Edge: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Services and your user experience.

4.3 Opt-Out of Analytics

You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. You can also opt out of interest-based advertising through the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) at optout.aboutads.info or the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at optout.networkadvertising.org.

4.4 Do Not Track

Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to have your online activity tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how to respond to DNT signals. We will update this policy if a standard is established and we adopt a response mechanism.

We use strictly necessary cookies on the basis of our legitimate interest in ensuring the security, functionality, and proper operation of the Services.

For all other cookies (performance, functional, and marketing), we rely on your consent, which you can provide or withdraw through our cookie consent mechanism. Where consent is required by applicable law, we will not place non-essential cookies on your device until you have given your consent.

Some of our third-party cookie providers may transfer and process cookie data outside your country of residence, including to the United States. Where such transfers occur, appropriate safeguards are in place as described in our Privacy Policy.

The retention period for cookies varies depending on their type and purpose:

• Session Cookies: Automatically deleted when you close your browser
• Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. The duration is specified in the cookie tables above

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Cookie Policy on the Services and updating the “Last updated” date.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
