4. Third-party cookies
Certain services integrated into NIDOOL may place cookies on user devices, including analytics providers, video hosting services, payment processors, authentication providers, and communication services.
Third-party providers maintain their own privacy and cookie policies. NIDOOL does not control third-party cookie practices. Users are encouraged to review those policies independently.

Disabling certain cookies may affect Platform functionality. Some features may not operate correctly if cookies are disabled.
7. Do Not Track signals
Some browsers provide “Do Not Track” settings. Because no universal standard currently exists for interpreting such signals, NIDOOL may not respond to all Do Not Track requests. We continue to monitor industry developments and evolving regulatory guidance.
