  • iOS (Safari): Settings → Safari → Block All Cookies
  • Android (Chrome): Chrome menu → Settings → Site settings → Cookies

7. Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies to collect information and enhance your experience:

7.1 Web Beacons (Pixel Tags)

Web beacons (also known as pixel tags, clear GIFs, or tracking pixels) are small, invisible images (typically 1x1 pixel) embedded in web pages or emails. They are used to:

  • Track when a page or email is opened or viewed
  • Measure the effectiveness of email campaigns
  • Collect information about user behavior and engagement
  • Verify that emails have been delivered and opened
  • Work in conjunction with cookies to provide more detailed analytics

You can disable web beacons by disabling images in your email client, though this may affect the appearance of emails.

7.2 Local Storage and Session Storage

We may use HTML5 local storage and session storage to store information on your device. These technologies are similar to cookies but can store larger amounts of data and are stored differently:

  • Local Storage: Stores data persistently until you clear it manually. Used for user preferences, settings, and cached data.
  • Session Storage: Stores data only for the duration of your browser session. Used for temporary data and session information.

You can clear local storage and session storage through your browser settings. Disabling these may affect website functionality.

7.3 IndexedDB

We may use IndexedDB, a browser-based database system, to store larger amounts of structured data locally on your device. This is used for:

  • Caching website content for offline access
  • Storing application data and user-generated content
  • Improving website performance and load times

7.4 Flash Cookies (Local Shared Objects)

We do not currently use Flash cookies (also known as Local Shared Objects or LSOs). Flash technology has been largely deprecated, and modern browsers no longer support it. If we begin using any similar technologies in the future, we will update this policy accordingly.

7.5 Device Fingerprinting

We may use device fingerprinting technologies that collect information about your device's configuration to create a unique identifier. This information may include:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system and version
  • Screen resolution and color depth
  • Installed fonts and plugins
  • Time zone and language settings
  • Hardware information (CPU, GPU, memory)
  • Network information

Device fingerprinting is used for security purposes, fraud prevention, and to provide a consistent user experience. You cannot directly opt-out of device fingerprinting, but you can use privacy-focused browsers or browser extensions that help prevent fingerprinting.

7.6 Server-Side Tracking

In addition to client-side tracking technologies, we may use server-side tracking to collect information about your interactions with our website. This includes:

  • Server logs containing IP addresses, request timestamps, and requested resources
  • Error logs and performance metrics
  • Security event logs

Server-side tracking is essential for website operation, security, and performance monitoring.

8. 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 industry standard for how DNT signals should be interpreted or responded to.

Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals. However, you can control cookies and tracking through the methods described in Section 6 above.

We respect your privacy choices and will continue to monitor developments in DNT technology and standards. If a standard is established, we will update this policy accordingly.

9. Cookie Consent Management

We use a cookie consent management system to help you control which cookies are set on your device. When you first visit our website, you will be presented with options to accept or decline different categories of cookies.

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by:

  • Clearing your browser cookies and revisiting our website to see the consent banner again
  • Accessing cookie settings through your browser
  • Contacting us to update your preferences

Your consent preferences are stored in a cookie called "cookiesConsent" and will be remembered for future visits. If you delete this cookie, you will be asked to provide consent again on your next visit.

10. Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you choose to disable or block cookies, some features of our website may not function properly:

  • Essential Cookies: Blocking these will prevent the website from functioning properly. You may not be able to log in, access certain features, or use the website as intended.
  • Functional Cookies: Blocking these may result in loss of preferences, such as language settings or display preferences.
  • Analytics Cookies: Blocking these will not affect website functionality but will prevent us from understanding how you use our website.
  • Marketing Cookies: Blocking these will not affect website functionality but may result in less relevant advertising.

We recommend allowing essential and functional cookies to ensure the best experience on our website.
