We use cookies and similar technologies to collect data from your device. These technologies are essential for the website’s operation, but they also enhance your experience by personalizing content, understanding your usage patterns, providing social media features, delivering service messages, and displaying relevant advertisements.
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. When you revisit or visit websites that use the same cookies, they recognize your browsing device.
We use cookies for various purposes, such as facilitating efficient navigation between pages, remembering your preferences, and improving your overall browsing experience. They also help ensure that the ads you see are more relevant to your interests. Additionally, we employ similar technologies like pixel tags and JavaScript to perform these tasks.
When you access our website from any device, we collect information about your usage, including device type, operating system, screen resolution, and IP address.
