3. Required Operational Cookies

Required operational cookies are vital for platform operation and cannot be deactivated. They enable core features including authentication systems, security functions, session management, and navigation capabilities. Without required operational cookies, key services like user login, account access, and platform security protections cease functioning. Personal marketing information is not collected.

This aggregated anonymous data improves performance metrics, detects technical issues, and enhances overall experience. Opting out of platform analytics does not impact core operations.

5. Experience Customization Cookies

Experience customization cookies remember your choices and configurations to provide personalized interactions. They store data like language preferences, display settings, theme choices, and custom layouts. These cookies enhance usability by retaining preferences across visits. Disabling experience customization may necessitate preference resets per session and reduce features.
