What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, remember preferences, and provide analytics and advertising features.

We may also use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, tags, and SDKs for these purposes.

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Remember your preferences (such as cookie choices and interface settings)

  • Deliver, measure, and improve advertising and affiliate attribution (where enabled)

Where required by law, we obtain your consent before setting non-essential cookies. You can manage your choices at any time via Cookie Settings (where available) or through your browser.

If you withdraw consent, previously set non-essential cookies may remain until they expire, but we will stop using them for their intended purposes.
