Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide functionality, and give website operators information about how their site is being used.

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies such as:

• Local Storage / Session Storage: Browser-based storage mechanisms used to persist preferences or session state on your device.
• Pixel Tags (Web Beacons): Tiny invisible images embedded in pages or emails that signal when a page or email has been opened or a link has been clicked.
• Pseudonymous Device Identifiers: Random identifiers stored in the browser and used to distinguish a browser installation for quota enforcement, fraud prevention, abuse detection, and service continuity.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on the Site:

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies and browser-storage items support functions requested by the user, including language selection, service continuity, usage-limit enforcement, security, and abuse prevention. They may include pseudonymous identifiers and operational information needed to provide those functions.

2.2 Functionality / Preference Cookies

These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as language, theme, or regional settings) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. Disabling these cookies may affect the quality of your experience.

2.3 Analytics Cookies

These technologies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site. Depending on the event and configuration, analytics may be aggregated or may contain pseudonymous identifiers and information that can be associated with a browser, task, or visit.

Google Analytics and Alibaba Cloud SLS process analytics information according to their respective configurations and policies. SLS events may include pseudonymous visit or device identifiers, a cached IP address, job or event metadata, the page URL, and other fields described in our Privacy Policy. We use these records for product analysis, service security, troubleshooting, and abuse prevention.

2.4 Advertising Cookies

We do not display third-party advertising and do not use third-party advertising or targeting cookies on the Site. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for measurement and tag management as described above, not to serve advertisements on the Site.

3. How Long Do Cookies Last?

Cookies can be classified by how long they remain on your device:

• Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to link your actions during a single session.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device until they expire (based on a set duration) or until you delete them. They are used to remember your preferences across visits.

4. Your Cookie Choices and How to Opt Out

4.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually set your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only certain cookies, or notify you when a cookie is being set. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will impair the functionality of the Site (e.g., certain core features may not function as intended).

Browser-specific guidance:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

4.2 Opt-Out of Analytics

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4.3 Advertising

The Site does not currently show third-party advertisements or use advertising cookies to provide interest-based advertising. If this practice changes, we will update this Policy before using such technologies.

4.4 Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, our Site does not currently alter its behavior in response to DNT signals. We will revisit this position if an industry standard emerges.

4.5 Regional Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, applicable law may provide additional rights relating to cookies, device storage, or analytics technologies. You may exercise applicable rights by using the controls described above or by contacting us as described in Section 6. Continued use of the Site does not waive rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.

5. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use, our business practices, or applicable legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Your continued use of the Site after the updated date constitutes acceptance of the revised Cookie Policy.
