1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to supply information to the website operator.

Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services the website uses ("third-party cookies"). Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time: "session cookies" are deleted when you close your browser, while "persistent cookies" remain until they expire or you delete them.

This cookie policy applies to the Dashe website at dashe.ai and any associated web-based dashboards. The Dashe mobile application does not use cookies.
