The specific use of each type of Cookie is described throughout this Policy.
3. What are Cookies used for?
The Website uses various categories of cookies, each with different purposes:

- Advertising Cookies: These cookies make advertising more relevant and attractive to users and advertisers, especially through personalized recommendations. They can be used to show personalized ads based on your preferences and to prevent showing ads that you have already seen or marked as irrelevant, improving the reliability of campaign performance reports.
