3. Operational Essential Cookies

Operational essential cookies are required for platform functioning and cannot be disabled. They power core services including authentication processes, security features, session administration, and navigation tools. Without operational essential cookies, vital services like user login, account control, and security measures would not work. Marketing data collection is excluded.

4. Diagnostic Cookies

Diagnostic cookies help us comprehend visitor platform behaviors. They gather data about visited pages, traffic sources, clicking behaviors, and session times. This aggregated anonymous data improves performance, detects technical issues, and enhances overall experience. Opting out of diagnostic cookies does not impact core functionality.

5. Experience Settings Cookies

Experience settings cookies retain your choices and configurations for personalized platform interactions. They save data such as language preferences, display configurations, theme options, and custom layouts. Settings cookies improve usability by remembering preferences between sessions. Disabling experience settings may necessitate adjustments per visit and limit personalization.

6. Third-Party Component Cookies

Third-party component cookies are set by external components integrated into our platform, including analytics tools, ad networks, and social media integrations. These cookies may track user activity across multiple websites. We do not govern third-party component cookies or their practices. Management occurs through browser settings or component-provided opt-out tools. Review component privacy policies for detailed information.

Browser help sections provide detailed instructions for cookie management.

8. Cookie Expiration Periods

Cookie expiration periods differ based on cookie type and purpose. Session cookies expire when browsers close and maintain temporary status.
