Cookie purposes encompass device identification, setting retention, usage analytics, and experience enhancement. Most browsers default to accepting cookies with available control options.

2. Cookie Function Categories

Cookie function categories cover Essential functions for necessary operations, Functional categories for settings memory, Analytics categories for usage measurement, and Performance categories for speed optimization. Function categories serve specific purposes for platform operation and experience. First-party and third-party categories comprise functions.

3. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for platform operation and cannot be disabled. They enable core functionality including account authentication, security features, session management, and basic navigation. Without essential cookies, critical services like login, account access, and platform security would not function. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes.

4. Performance Measurement Cookies

Performance measurement cookies help us comprehend visitor platform usage. They gather data about visited pages, traffic sources, clicking patterns, and session times. This aggregated anonymous data optimizes performance, detects technical problems, and enhances user experience. Core functionality continues without performance measurement cookie acceptance.

5. Configuration Cookies

Configuration cookies retain user choices and settings for customized platform interactions. They save information such as language choices, display options, theme selections, and layout customizations. Configuration cookies improve usability by remembering settings between sessions. Disabling configurations may require repeated adjustments and limited personalization.

6. External Module Cookies

External module cookies are set by outside modules embedded in our platform, including analytics providers, ad platforms, and social components. These cookies may track browsing across multiple websites. We do not control external module cookies or practices. Management is possible through browser settings or module-provided opt-out tools. Review module privacy policies for detailed practices.

7. Cookie Deletion Controls

Cookie deletion controls are available through browser settings interfaces. Deletion controls enable viewing, removing, and blocking cookie functions. Controls include options to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or receive cookie notifications. Be aware that blocking certain cookies may affect platform functionality and experience levels. Browser support resources provide detailed deletion control instructions.

8. Cookie Lifespan Information

Cookie lifespan information varies according to type and function. Session-based cookies expire upon browser closure and are temporary in nature. Persistent-type cookies remain stored for specified durations or until manual deletion, spanning days to years. Essential cookies generally last during sessions, while preference and analytics cookies may persist longer for settings retention and long-term pattern analysis.
