Third-Party Cookies

Cookie Duration
Cookies may be either “persistent” or “session” cookies:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you use the Application.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings across multiple sessions.
The specific duration of persistent cookies varies depending on the type of cookie and its purpose. Some cookies may last for a few days, while others may remain for several years.

Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no standard for how DNT signals should be interpreted. As a result, our Application does not currently respond to DNT signals.
We will continue to monitor developments around DNT technology and may update this policy if a standard is established.
