They are essential in order to enable you to navigate around the platform and use its features. If you remove or disable these cookies, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to use our platform.

These cookies collect information over time about your online activity on the platform and other online services to make online advertisements more relevant and effective for you. This is known as interest-based advertising.

They also perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing and ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers. Without cookies, it’s really hard for an advertiser to reach its audience or to know how many ads were shown and how many clicks they received.

We do not control the use of these third-party cookies as cookies can only be accessed by the third party that originally set them.
