They are widely used to make websites work, improve performance, and provide information to the site owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cookies can be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Session cookies<\/strong> &#8211; temporary files that are deleted when you close your browser.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Persistent cookies<\/strong> &#8211; files that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. What Cookies We Use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We use a limited number of cookies to keep things running smoothly. Here&#8217;s a breakdown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.1 Essential Cookies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. Without them, certain features may not work correctly. They do not track you for marketing purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Cookie Name<\/th><th>Purpose<\/th><th>Duration<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Session cookie<\/td><td>Maintains your session while browsing<\/td><td>Session (deleted on browser close)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Security cookie<\/td><td>Helps protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF)<\/td><td>Session<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You cannot opt out of essential cookies while continuing to use the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.2 Analytics Cookies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website &#8211; for example, which pages are visited most often and whether any errors occur.
