1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small alphanumeric text files stored on your computing device by web servers when you
visit websites. They help web platforms operate smoothly, remember user interface preferences, prevent
spam or automated abuse, and gather anonymized engagement metrics to refine content delivery.

Strictly Necessary Cookies:
These identifiers are required for basic technical operations and security safeguards. They handle security
challenges (such as bot mitigation via Cloudflare) and preserve client-side interface states like dark/light theme
toggles. These identifiers persist from a single browser session up to 12 months.
Performance & Analytics Cookies:
We utilize tools such as Google Analytics to capture aggregated, non-personally identifiable telemetry. These metrics
record page views, time spent reading case studies, bounce rates, and navigation pathways across analytical dashboards.
These cookies typically persist for up to 2 years to track returning visitors accurately.
Functional & Preference Cookies:
These cookies store your preferences across multiple visits, such as recording your response to our cookie consent banner.
They typically expire within 6 to 12 months.
