We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to track the activity on our website and hold certain information.

• What are Cookies? Cookies are small data files placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period.
• How We Use Cookies: We use cookies for various purposes:
  • Essential Cookies: Necessary for the website to function properly, enabling core functionality like security, network management, and accessibility.

However, blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality and features of our website.

6. Data Security

We implement a variety of security measures designed to protect the security of your personal information. These include:

When we no longer need to process your personal data, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
