1. What Are Cookies?
   Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. They help us provide, enhance, and secure the Platform and enable us to remember user preferences, deliver relevant content, and improve overall experience. Cookies may be set directly by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party providers (third-party cookies). Similar technologies include pixels, web beacons, local storage, and session tokens, which may also be used to gather device and interaction data.
2. Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for platform operation, including secure login, user authentication, form submissions, load balancing, and fraud prevention. These cookies cannot be disabled.
• Performance Cookies: Collect anonymised usage data (e.g., page load speed, crash diagnostics, error messages) to help us optimise performance and availability across regions.
• Functionality Cookies: Enable customisation by remembering your preferences (language, region, display settings, previously viewed content) and providing enhanced personalisation.
• Analytics & Insights Cookies: Track interactions with platform features and user journeys, allowing us to measure engagement and improve services based on usage behaviour and aggregated reports.
• Third-Party Cookies: Some third-party providers may place cookies where limited technical integrations are present, such as external AI services or analytics tools.. No third-party marketing or embedded media cookies are used.

3. Legal Basis for Use of Cookies We rely on:

• Legitimate Interest for essential cookies (they are required to deliver our services securely and reliably)
• Explicit User Consent for all non-essential cookies (e.g., analytics, performance, third-party marketing)
