Unlike the chocolate chip kind, these Cookies are not sweet and they do not have any calories! Moreover, These Cookies are actually small text files created by websites that are stored on your device when you visit them. A cookie typically contains the name of the domain (internet location) from which the cookie originated, the “lifetime” of the cookie (i.e., when it expires) and a randomly generated unique number or similar identifier. They serve various purposes, such as remembering your login information, preferences, and items in your shopping cart, making your online experience more convenient and personalized. A cookie also may contain information about your device, such as user settings, browsing history and activities conducted while using our Services. Cookies can also help website owners analyse traffic and user behaviour, allowing them to improve their sites. While they enhance usability, users have the option to manage or delete Cookies through their browser settings to maintain privacy and control over their online activity.

A cookie is a piece of text containing a unique identifier, which is stored on your computer by your web browser or by your mobile device.

They ensure the functioning of the App and Websites which in turn allows us to provide the Services that our members request and to improve user experience.
We may also use other technologies such as web beacons (also called pixels), tracking URLs and software development kits (SDKs) for similar purposes as Cookies. Web beacons are files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has accessed content on our Websites. Tracking URLs are unique links that help us to understand where visitors to our Websites are coming from. SDKs are small pieces of code included in applications, which function like Cookies and web beacons. For simplicity, in this Policy we also refer to these technologies as “Cookies”.

These are only transmitted over secure HTTPS connections, ensuring that the data is encrypted.
These can only be accessed by the server, preventing client-side scripts from accessing them, which enhances security.
Designed to restrict how Cookies are sent with cross-site requests, helping to mitigate CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) attacks.

In addition to Cookies, various other tracking technologies help websites and apps gather data about user behaviour such as web beacons (also called pixel, tags or clear gifs), tracking URLs or software development kits (SDKs) are used for similar purposes as Cookies. Web beacons are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our service or opened an email that we have sent them. Tracking URLs are custom generated links that help us understand where the traffic to our web pages comes from. SDKs are small pieces of code included in apps, which function like Cookies and web beacons. They are further explained below:
1. Web Beacons: Also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, these are tiny, invisible images embedded in web pages or emails. They track user interactions, such as whether an email was opened or how users navigate a site, by sending information back to the server.
2. SDKs (Software Development Kits): These are collections of software tools and libraries that developers use to create applications. SDKs can collect data on user behaviour, device information, and app usage patterns, often for analytics or advertising purposes.
3. Fingerprinting: This technique involves collecting various device and browser attributes (like screen size, operating system, and installed fonts) to create a unique profile for a user. Unlike Cookies, fingerprinting doesn’t require any data to be stored on the user’s device.
4. Local Storage and Session Storage: These are web storage technologies that allow websites to store data in a user’s browser. Local storage retains data even after the browser is closed, while session storage is cleared when the session ends.
5. Heat Maps: Tools that visually represent user interaction on a website, showing where users click, scroll, or spend time, helping designers understand user behaviour.
These technologies, along with Cookies, provide valuable insights for improving user experience and targeting advertising but also raise privacy concerns that users should be aware of.
For simplicity, we also refer to these technologies as “Cookies” in this Cookie Policy.
