6. How to Manage Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences through the following methods:
6.1 Browser Settings
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. Browser settings vary, but you can typically find cookie controls in the "Settings," "Options," or "Preferences" menu. Please note that if you disable cookies, some features of the Platform may not function properly.
6.2 Platform Cookie Settings
When you first visit the Platform, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept or customize your cookie preferences. You can change your preferences at any time through the cookie settings link in the Platform footer.
6.3 Opt-Out Links
For certain third-party cookies, you may be able to opt out through industry opt-out mechanisms or by visiting the third party's privacy policy or website directly.
7. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret DNT signals, our Platform does not currently respond to browser DNT signals. Instead, you can use the cookie controls described above to manage tracking technologies.
8. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on the Platform and updating the "Last Updated" date above. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
