1. DEFINITION AND NATURE OF COOKIES
Cookies are small data files stored on a User’s device by a web browser when accessing a website. Such files enable the Website to recognize the device, retain certain information, and facilitate functionality across sessions.
Tracking technologies may include cookies, pixels, web beacons, scripts, local storage objects, and similar mechanisms capable of collecting or accessing information from a User’s device.
Where such information is capable of identifying an individual, it shall constitute personal data and be processed in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
2. SCOPE AND LIMITATION
This Policy applies exclusively to tracking technologies deployed through the Website.
The Website is not designed for the collection or processing of Protected Health Information (“PHI”), and cookies are not used to collect, store, or process PHI.
Any PHI-related processing occurs solely within secured client environments and is governed by separate contractual and regulatory frameworks.
3. PURPOSES OF COOKIE USAGE
The Company utilizes cookies and similar technologies strictly for legitimate, specified, and proportionate purposes necessary for operation, security, and performance of the Website.
Such purposes include ensuring system functionality, maintaining session continuity, facilitating navigation across integrated components, monitoring system performance, detecting and preventing unauthorized access, and improving user experience.
Cookies may also support limited internal analytics and operational diagnostics, provided such processing remains proportionate and aligned with the purposes disclosed herein.
Cookies shall not be used for purposes materially inconsistent with these stated objectives.
4. CATEGORIES OF COOKIES
Cookies deployed through the Website fall into distinct categories based on their function.
Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the operation of the Website and enable core technical functions, including authentication, session management, and system integrity. Such cookies may be deployed without prior consent where permitted by law.
Functional cookies allow the Website to retain user preferences, configurations, and interface settings, thereby enhancing usability and continuity across sessions.
Analytical and performance cookies collect information regarding Website usage, including navigation behavior, interaction patterns, and performance metrics, for the purpose of improving system efficiency and user experience.
Engagement and tracking cookies, where implemented, are used to evaluate interaction with Website features and communication channels and are deployed only where lawful and subject to applicable consent requirements.

Where required under applicable laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the ePrivacy Directive:
- Non-essential cookies shall not be placed on a User’s device without prior, explicit, and informed consent;
- Consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and expressed through a clear affirmative action;

Where such data constitutes personal data, it shall be processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

Given the technical and security-oriented nature of the Company’s services, certain cookies and tracking mechanisms may be used to support system integrity, security monitoring, and detection of unauthorized access or misuse.
Such usage is limited strictly to operational and protective purposes and does not extend to surveillance beyond what is necessary to maintain system security.

The Website may incorporate third-party systems, including hosting providers, analytics tools, and communication platforms, which may deploy their own cookies or tracking technologies.
The Company does not control the operation of such third-party cookies and disclaims responsibility for their independent data practices.
Users acknowledge that interactions with third-party services may result in separate data collection governed by the policies of those third parties.
10. COOKIE DURATION AND RETENTION
Cookies may be session-based, expiring upon termination of a browsing session, or persistent, remaining on a User’s device until expiration or deletion.
Retention periods are limited to what is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy.
11. USER CONTROL AND BROWSER SETTINGS
Users may control or restrict cookies through:
- the Website’s consent management interface;
- browser settings enabling deletion or blocking of cookies;
- applicable third-party opt-out mechanisms.
Disabling certain cookies may impair Website functionality.
Withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted prior to such withdrawal.
12. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
Data collected through cookies may be transferred across jurisdictions, including outside the User’s country of residence.
Where required, such transfers shall be subject to appropriate safeguards consistent with applicable law.
13. DATA MINIMIZATION AND PURPOSE LIMITATION

15. LIMITATION OF GUARANTEES
While the Company implements reasonable measures to ensure responsible use of cookies and tracking technologies, no system can be guaranteed to be entirely secure or free from technical limitations.
16. MODIFICATIONS
The Company reserves the right to modify this Policy at any time.
