3. Platform Essential Cookies

Platform essential cookies are strictly necessary for operation and cannot be disabled by users.

Performance analytics cookies help us understand visitor engagement patterns. They collect information regarding page views, traffic sources, user clicks, and duration metrics. This anonymous aggregated information optimizes platform performance, identifies technical problems, and enhances user experiences. Essential functionality continues without performance analytics acceptance.

They save information such as language preferences, display settings, theme selections, and layout customizations. Persistence cookies improve usability by maintaining choices between visits. Disabling preference persistence may require resetting settings per session and limit customization.

8. Cookie Expiry Standards

Cookie expiry standards vary based on type and function. Session expiry cookies expire upon browser closure and are temporary in nature.
