4.1 Types of Cookies We Use
-Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the Website, such as enabling page navigation and access to secure areas. They cannot be disabled, as doing so would prevent the Website from functioning properly. Examples include cookies that maintain your session state.
