1. Introduction

This policy governs our use of "cookies" and similar technologies (such as scripts, tracking pixels, and web beacons) on our website cslant.com and its subdomains (collectively referred to as the "Website"), as well as in our services.

We use cookies and related technologies to enhance your experience on our Website and in our email communications. This policy outlines their purpose and how they function. Please note that while you can adjust your browser settings to block cookies, doing so may limit the functionality of certain features on our Website.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or other internet-enabled devices (such as smartphones or tablets) when you visit a website. They allow websites to remember information about your visit, including your preferences, language settings, and other personalized features, thereby enhancing your browsing experience on future visits. Pixels, also known as web beacons, are invisible elements embedded in webpages or emails. They are often used for marketing purposes and performance analysis. Similar to cookies, pixels help us collect information about your interactions with our Website and emails. We use cookies and similar technologies to improve your browsing experience on our Website. These technologies make navigation more efficient by saving your preferences and avoiding the need to re-enter information during subsequent visits. They also allow us to analyze user behavior and deliver relevant content.

3. How we use cookies

The cookies used on this Website are set either by us or by our third-party partners. Cookies on this Website fall into the following categories:

• Essential & Functional Cookies
• Cookies for Theme Usage
• Cookies for Language Preferences
• Cookies for Analytics & Performance
• Consent Cookies

Some cookies are "session cookies," which are deleted once you close your browser. Others are "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a set period after you leave the Website. We place cookies on your device upon your first visit to the Website.

3.1. Cookies for Theme Usage

We store a small cookie named theme to remember your preferred display mode (light or dark) across visits, so you don't need to re-select it each time.

3.2. Cookies for Language Preferences

We use a cookie to remember your preferred language setting across visits. When you select a language on our Website, a cookie is stored on your device so that the Website automatically displays content in your chosen language on subsequent visits. This avoids the need to re-select your language each time you return.

3.3. Cookies for Analytics & Performance

To understand how the Website is used and to improve it, we use the following analytics and performance tools:

• Google Tag Manager & Google Analytics — manages our tracking scripts and collects anonymous, aggregate data about site traffic and usage behaviour. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
• Microsoft Clarity — aggregate usage analytics and heatmaps. Does not capture form content.
• Cloudflare — CDN, performance, and security. May set essential cookies and process request metadata.

3.4. Consent Cookie

We store a cookie named csl_consent to remember your cookie preferences (analytics and marketing consent choices). This cookie is used to ensure Google Tag Manager fires only the approved tracking scripts according to your consent.

4. Accept or reject cookies

Most browsers enable cookies by default, but you can adjust your cookie settings through the 'options' or 'preferences' menu in your browser. You have the option to block cookies from specific or all websites by modifying your browser settings.
