1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, enhance user experience, and provide information to site owners.

Cookies can be:

  • Session cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
  • First-party cookies: Set by the website you are visiting.
  • Third-party cookies: Set by a domain other than the one you are visiting.

We also use other tracking technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage, which function similarly to cookies. For simplicity, we refer to all these technologies as "cookies" in this policy.

We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information such as your financial data or AML compliance records. Any personal data collected through cookies is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use into four types:

3.1 Essential Cookies
