Cookie & Tracking Policy
Last Updated: October 3, 2026
1. What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are small alphanumeric data files stored in your web browser when you visit websites. In addition to cookies, we and our authorized service providers may use web beacons, tags, and tracking scripts (collectively referred to as "Tracking Technologies") to ensure platform functionality, remember preferences, measure marketing attribution, and display relevant sponsored content.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Essential for core navigation, authentication into administrative management areas, CSRF token validation, security defense, and content delivery network routing. These cannot be switched off.
Performance & Analytics Cookies
Aggregated, privacy-safe metrics (such as Google Analytics 4) that allow us to evaluate page load speeds, high-traffic regional locations, and user engagement without storing personal profiles.
Affiliate Attribution & Referral Tokens
Temporary tokens placed to verify that a referral originated from our promotional campaigns when you click through to visit merchant partner destinations, ensuring accurate conversion tracking.
Advertising & Ad Network Cookies
Employed by third-party advertising networks (such as Adsterra) and conversion platforms (Meta CAPI, TikTok Events API) to deliver relevant ad placements, manage ad frequency, and measure impression performance.
3. Third-Party Advertising Partners
When you visit pages displaying sponsored advertisements, our advertising partners (including Adsterra and programmatic ad exchanges) may set third-party cookies or scripts on your device. These cookies do not store personally identifiable details such as your name or email address; instead, they capture non-personal technical identifiers to:
- Prevent displaying the same advertisement repeatedly to the same visitor ("frequency capping").
- Detect and mitigate click fraud or automated robotic impressions.
- Serve ads contextually tailored to device type and broad regional interest categories.
4. Managing and Opting Out of Cookies
You have full control over cookie storage and can modify your browser settings to reject cookies or alert you when a cookie is placed:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection.
- Apple Safari: Settings > Safari > Advanced > Privacy > Block all cookies.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies.
