6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Service may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to distinguish you from other users, remember your preferences, and analyse how the Service is used. You can set your browser to refuse some or all cookies, or to alert you when a website sets or accesses cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, some parts of the Service may become inaccessible or may not function properly.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Criteria used to determine retention periods include the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you, whether there is a legal obligation to retain the data, and whether retention is advisable considering our legal position.

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
