3. Obligatory Cookies

Obligatory cookies are mandatory for platform operation and cannot be opted out.

This anonymous aggregated information enhances platform performance, identifies technical challenges, and improves user experiences. Core functions remain unaffected by insight cookie opt-out.

5. User Preference Cookies

User preference cookies retain your selections and settings for personalized platform interactions. They save information such as language choices, display settings, theme options, and customized layouts. Preference cookies improve usability by remembering configurations between sessions. Disabling user preferences may result in repeated setting adjustments and limited personalization.
