1. Definitions: What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

In addition to cookies, we may use:

• Local Storage – Used to store data locally within your browser for functionality purposes (e.g., license key persistence).

• Device Fingerprinting – Used in a limited scope for security and anti-fraud mechanisms, not for behavioral tracking or advertising.

These technologies do not allow us to directly identify you, but some may be considered personal data under applicable privacy laws, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
