We automatically collect information about Your interaction with Our Service, such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring website addresses. This information is collected to help us understand how visitors use the Service and to improve its content and functionality.
c. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons and pixel tags) to help Our Service function, remember Your preferences, understand usage patterns, and improve Our content. Third-party analytics providers (such as Google Analytics) may also set cookies on Your device through Our Service. You can control cookies through Your browser settings, and many browsers allow You to refuse cookies or alert You when cookies are being sent.
