What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by the websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently and to provide reporting and personalization. Cookies do not damage your device and do not contain viruses or malware.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as local storage and pixels, which serve comparable functions. For simplicity, this policy refers to all of these as "cookies."
Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies used on our platform into the following types:
- Essential cookies: Required for the platform to function. They enable you to sign in, maintain your session, and navigate secure areas. These cannot be disabled, as the platform would not work without them.
- Preference cookies: Remember your choices, such as your cookie consent decision, so you do not have to re-enter them on each visit.
- Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the platform so we can improve performance and user experience. These are only enabled if you accept them.
- Security cookies: Support fraud prevention and protect your account from unauthorized access.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are set automatically when you use our platform. They include:
- Session cookies that keep you logged in during your visit.
- Authentication tokens that verify your identity on each request.
- Security cookies that help detect and prevent fraudulent login attempts.
These cookies are necessary for the core functionality of the platform and cannot be turned off. They do not store personal information beyond what is needed to maintain your session.
Analytics and Non-Essential Cookies
Analytics cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve platform performance. They help us understand which pages are most and least popular and how visitors move around the site. These cookies are optional and are only activated if you accept them through our cookie consent banner.
If you decline non-essential cookies, the platform will continue to function normally. You will simply not contribute to our analytics data.
Third-Party Cookies
In limited circumstances, third-party services we use may set their own cookies on your device. For example, our identity verification partner, Veriff, may set cookies during the verification process. These third parties manage their own cookies according to their respective privacy policies. We do not control these cookies and are not responsible for their practices.
Cookie Consent
When you first visit our platform, we display a cookie consent banner asking you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored on your device so you are not prompted again on subsequent visits. You can change your consent decision at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for our domain, which will cause the banner to reappear.
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. Refer to your browser's help documentation for specific instructions:
Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent you from logging in and using core platform features.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
