This is a list of the categories of cookies used in our website and why we use them.
Required for site functionality
| CSRF Tokens | The Website implements Cross-Site Request Forgery (“CSRF”) protection mechanisms that may involve the issuance of cryptographically generated tokens embedded within forms, HTTP headers, or similar request-validation structures. These tokens are uniquely associated with a user session and are designed to verify that requests submitted to the Website originate from an authenticated and authorized source, thereby mitigating unauthorized command execution by third parties. CSRF tokens do not, in and of themselves, contain personally identifiable information; however, they may be processed in conjunction with session identifiers and server-side validation logic to ensure the integrity and security of user-initiated transactions. Such tokens are transient in nature, expire automatically upon termination of a session or after a defined time interval, and are not used for behavioral tracking, advertising, or analytics purposes. The processing of CSRF tokens is undertaken strictly for security and fraud-prevention objectives and constitutes a necessary technical measure for the provision of the Website’s services. |

| Session ID | The Website utilizes session cookies, which are small text files temporarily stored on a user’s device to facilitate core functionality, including authentication persistence, user preference retention within a single browsing session, load-balancing, and secure navigation between pages. Session cookies are generated when a user initiates a session and are typically deleted automatically upon closure of the browser or expiration of the session timeout period. These cookies may contain an anonymized session identifier that enables the Website’s servers to associate incoming requests with a specific authenticated session; they do not ordinarily store passwords or directly readable personal data. Session cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of certain interactive features and secure account access, and disabling such cookies through browser settings may materially impair the functionality or availability of portions of the Website. The use of session cookies is limited to technical and operational purposes consistent with maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the Website’s services. |
| Google Analytics | The Website may, at the User’s election and subject to applicable consent requirements, employ Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to collect and analyze information concerning usage patterns, traffic flows, and interactions with Website content. Google Analytics utilizes cookies, device identifiers, and similar tracking technologies to gather data such as IP address (which may be truncated or anonymized where configured), browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, session duration, and engagement metrics. This information is transmitted to and processed by Google on servers that may be located outside the User’s jurisdiction of residence, in accordance with Google’s applicable terms and data processing agreements. The Website uses such data in aggregated and, where feasible, de-identified form to evaluate performance, enhance user experience, improve content relevance, and monitor security and system integrity. The Website does not intentionally combine analytics data with directly identifiable personal information unless explicitly disclosed and consented to, and Users may opt out of Google Analytics tracking through browser settings, cookie consent tools, or the installation of appropriate opt-out mechanisms made available by Google. |
