We use cookies to improve and personalize your experience on our site, track website performance, and understand our audience's needs better.

What are Cookies?

A cookie is a small piece of data stored by the web browser on your device when you visit a website. It contains information about your interaction with that site and can be retrieved later for various purposes. Most websites use cookies to enhance user experience and collect general browsing statistics.

Why do we Use Cookies?

Our primary goal in using cookies is to ensure seamless functionality of our platform, understand how users interact with it, and make improvements accordingly. We also need them for certain features like login persistence, device recognition, and performance optimisation.

Types of Cookies Used by Us:

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the proper functioning of our website and include session management cookies that enable you to log in or navigate through various sections.

Session Cookies

These are temporary cookies created when you visit a particular page and automatically deleted at the end of your browsing session (i.e., when closing your web browser).

Persistent Cookies

These remain on your device even after you close your browser. We use them for longer-term purposes such as:

  • Preference management (language settings)
  • Device recognition for more personalized experiences
  • Performance analytics and optimization

Functional Cookies

These improve the look, feel, and ease of use of our website. They remember user preferences like:

  • Language settings

Analytics and Performance Cookies:

To improve performance, identify trends, and measure platform effectiveness, we utilize third-party analytics services that deploy small scripts (not technically cookies) to track various metrics.

Preference Management and Customization:

You can customize our site based on your needs by adjusting certain settings like language preferences or font size.

Browser Storage Technologies:

Modern browsers provide advanced storage features that mimic some functionalities of traditional cookies:

  • SessionStorage: Temporary data, cleared when your browser closes.
  • LocalStorage: Long-term data persisted even after you close the browser.

These technologies are increasingly used in place of classic cookies for persistent data like user settings or application state information.

Third-Party Integrations and Cookies:

Our platform sometimes integrates with external services (like social media platforms, content delivery networks, or analytics tools). These integrations might involve additional third-party cookie deployment:

  • Targeting/advertising cookies: Collects personal preferences to display targeted advertising
  • Analytical/performance tracking: Collected and analyzed usage metrics

Marketing Preferences:

To manage your marketing communication preferences and adjust the content you see on our platform, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

Every major web browser provides a range of options for managing cookies. You can block or delete these small files at any time.

  • Chrome: Go to Menu (vertical 3 dots) > Settings > Show Advanced settings and scroll down
  • Safari, Firefox & Internet Explorer follow similar procedures

Clearing Cookies:

Removing all your browser's stored data will clear both cookies and temporary site settings. Note that this can sometimes be required for maintaining the security of our platform.

Clearing or Disabling Cookies:

  2. Find Cookie Management options (usually in Settings, Preferences, Options menu):
    • Most browsers allow managing each domain individually by visiting their respective settings pages or cookies management tool
  3. Enable/Disable specific domains’ cookies

Site Functionality Impact When Cookies Are Disabled:

Our website will still load and function with restrictions:

  • Essential features like login may be less functional without persistent data.

Aggregated Analytics Information:

To improve our performance, we use aggregated analytical tools that combine information from numerous users. This allows us to assess general trends without exposing individual user behavior or details.

  • Collects network speed data
  • Triggers specific functions (like cache clearing)
