A cookie is a small text file which is placed onto your device (e.g., your smartphone or other electronic device) when you use our Services.

For example, we may monitor how many times you use our Services, which parts of the Services you go to, and location data. This information helps us to understand use of the Services by our users. Some of this data will be aggregated or statistical, which means that we will not be able to identify you individually.
