5. Your Choices and Controls
5.1 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only certain types, or delete cookies after each session. Please refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions:
Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Site and limit your access to some features or services.
5.2 Consent Management
Where required, we will present you with a cookie consent notice when you first visit the Site. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by adjusting your preferences through the cookie settings tool available on our Site.
5.3 Opt-Out of Analytics
If you wish to opt out of analytics tracking, you may do so through your browser settings or by using opt-out mechanisms provided by the analytics service in use. Opting out will not affect your ability to use the Site.
5.4 Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal that you can enable to request that websites not track your activity. Our Site currently responds to DNT signals by limiting non-essential cookie use where technically feasible. However, because there is no universal standard for DNT, full compliance cannot be guaranteed across all third-party services.
6. Data Retention
Cookie data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or until you delete them manually.
Data collected through cookies that is associated with your account or activity on our platform is retained in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Our Site may include integrations, embedded content, or links to third-party services. These third parties may set their own cookies when you interact with their content. We do not have control over these cookies and are not responsible for the data collected by third parties.
We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services you interact with through our Site. Third-party cookies are governed solely by those third parties' policies.
8. Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies may collect or be associated with personal data, such as your IP address or account identifier. Where cookies process personal data, such processing is governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes the legal basis for processing, your rights as a data subject, and how to exercise those rights.
To review our Privacy Policy, please visit the relevant page on our Site or contact us directly.
