Cookie Policy
This policy explains how Mastersel uses cookies and similar technologies, what they do, and how you can control them.
1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners.
Cookies may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). They can be set by the website you visit ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services embedded on the page.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags for the same purposes described in this policy.
