Third Party Cookies

# Third Party Cookie Details

## What are Third Party Cookies?

Third-party cookies are cookies set by a domain different from the one you are visiting. They can be used for security, embedded content, payments, analytics, or advertising (depending on the site configuration).

## Which third parties may set cookies on this website?

Cloudflare (CDN/Security): We use Cloudflare to protect and accelerate our website. Depending on enabled Cloudflare features, Cloudflare may set strictly necessary cookies to help identify and mitigate malicious traffic. For example, if Cloudflare Bot products (Bot Management / Bot Fight Mode) are enabled, Cloudflare may place the __cf_bm cookie, which is necessary for bot protection and typically expires after a short period of inactivity.

Payments (PayPal): If you choose PayPal for payment, PayPal may set its own cookies when you interact with PayPal checkout or related payment pages. These cookies are controlled by PayPal and are subject to PayPal policies.

## How do Third Party Cookies work?

A third party cookie is placed on your device by a service provider that delivers a feature used by the site (for example: security protection, payment processing, or embedded media). Your browser settings can often limit or block third-party cookies.

## Why are Third Party Cookies used?

Third-party cookies may be used for:

  • Security and abuse prevention (e.g., bot protection and rate limiting)
  • Payments and fraud prevention (e.g., PayPal checkout)
  • Optional analytics (only if enabled and where applicable, based on consent)

## How to manage Third Party Cookies?

Most browsers allow you to view and delete cookies and to block third-party cookies. Please see your browser help section for instructions. Note that blocking certain cookies may prevent login, session functionality, or security features from working correctly.
