What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about your visit. At calyphonarith, we use various tracking technologies beyond just cookies to enhance your browsing experience and understand how our platform is being used.

These technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, local storage, and session storage. Each serves different purposes – some are essential for basic website functionality, while others help us analyze user behavior and improve our services. We believe in transparency about what data we collect and why.
