4. Cookies
Our website and application may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, keep sessions secure, understand traffic patterns, and improve user experience. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some features.
5. Analytics
We may use first-party logs and third-party analytics tools to understand how the website and product are used (for example, page views, feature usage trends, and error rates).

6. Data security
We take commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures designed to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, or alteration. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you use the services at your own risk subject to applicable law.
