Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. We also use equivalent technologies, such as the browser's local storage (localStorage), for similar purposes.

2. Essential cookies (no consent required)
These cookies and technologies are strictly necessary for the platform to function and to provide the requested service, so they do not require your consent.
