Introduction to Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are used to distinguish you from other users on our website, which allows us to provide you with a personalized experience and enables the effective operation of our ecommerce-search-engine platform. Cookies can be session-based (last only for the duration of your visit) or persistent (remain on your device beyond your session).
Types of Cookies We Use
Our website uses different categories of cookies, each serving a specific purpose:
-
Necessary Cookies: These are essential for navigating our website and using its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Without these cookies, services like account registration cannot be provided.
-
Performance Cookies: These collect data on how our visitors use our website and services, e.g., which pages they visit most often, if they receive any error messages, and how quickly pages load on their devices. These cookies do not gather information that identifies you personally—all information collected is anonymous and is only used to improve your experience of our website and the quality of our service.
-
Functionality Cookies: These enable a personalized experience on our site by remembering user preferences, such as customizing content, remembering your ecommerce-search-engine query history, or saving your account login details for your next visit.
-
Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed on our website by third-party advertising networks and are similar to cookies which may be found on other websites you have visited.

Third-Party Cookies
Our website may also use third-party cookies from partners who help us better understand our audience and provide more relevant advertising. These partners set their own cookies (third parties) through our service to tag users’ visits and compile aggregate data about site interaction, which then is used to offer appropriate online services to users and for advertising purposes.
