They may be used for:

• User authentication

They may collect information such as:

These cookies improve your experience but may not be strictly necessary for the service to function.

These providers may include:

• [Hosting Provider]
• [Analytics Provider]

10. Cookie Duration

Cookies may be either session cookies or persistent cookies.

Session Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser.

They are often used for login sessions, security, and basic functionality.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

They may be used to remember preferences, consent choices, analytics identifiers, or other settings.

The exact duration of each cookie depends on its purpose and the provider that sets it.

11. Managing Cookie Preferences

Where required, we may provide a cookie banner or cookie preferences tool that allows you to accept, reject, or manage non-essential cookies.

You may be able to change your choices at any time through:

• A cookie preferences link on our website
• Your account settings, if implemented
• The cookie banner, if available
• Browser settings

Essential cookies may remain active because they are required for the service to function.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

• Delete cookies
• Block cookies
• Block third-party cookies
