This Cookie Notice explains what cookies are, which cookies we use, and how you can manage them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

2. Cookies we use

We use strictly necessary cookies for security and sign-in. With your consent, we may also use functional cookies (such as language preference), analytics cookies to understand how the platform is used, and marketing cookies if we run campaigns in the future.
