We use both first-party cookies (set by us) and third-party cookies (set by external services integrated into our platform).

These cookies are essential for the operation of our Site and cannot be turned off in our systems. They are usually set in response to your actions (e.g., logging in, accessing secure areas).

These cookies are used to deliver relevant advertisements and track the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They may be set by us or third-party providers.

Some cookies on our Site are set by third-party services that we integrate for functionality, analytics, advertising, or social media features.

• Content delivery and video providers, such as YouTube or Vimeo, to display rich media content;
• Customer support tools, such as Intercom, Zendesk, or Crisp, to enable chat support or onboarding help;
• Security and fraud prevention services, such as Cloudflare or Sift, to protect against abuse and secure our infrastructure.

These third parties may set cookies directly or use tracking pixels, scripts, or SDKs embedded on our Site.

We do not control the use of these cookies and are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please refer to the privacy and cookie policies of the respective third parties for more information on how they use your data.
