These third parties operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review. We select third-party providers carefully and do not permit them to use cookies for independent advertising or tracking purposes beyond what is described in this policy.
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their privacy or security settings. Consult your browser's help documentation for guidance.
- Platform settings: Logged-in users can manage non-essential cookie preferences from their account settings panel.
- Opt-out tools: For analytics cookies, you may be able to opt out using the analytics provider's own opt-out mechanism.
Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform and your user experience. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without impacting your ability to remain logged in or use core features.
