- Payment Processors: When you make a payment, our payment processors (Stripe, PayPal) may set cookies to process your transaction securely.

We do not control these third-party cookies. Please refer to the respective privacy policies of these third-party services for more information.

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no standard for how DNT signals should be interpreted, and our Service does not currently respond to DNT browser signals.
However, you can control tracking through your cookie preferences and browser settings as described above.
