4. Cookies and Tracking
Our website and the BirdEase registration portal use “cookies” to enhance your user experience (e.g., keeping you logged in or remembering your registration progress). You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may not function correctly as a result.
5. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. Payment transactions are encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology. While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
