Cookies & Tracking

IFMOSA uses only strictly necessary cookies to ensure the website functions properly. These cookies are essential for security, maintaining login sessions, and processing payments. They do not track you across other websites, collect personal information for advertising, or build a profile of your browsing activity.

We do not use analytics cookies, marketing cookies, or any third-party tracking technologies. No cookie consent banner is needed because we do not store or request consent for non-essential cookies.

You can disable cookies entirely in your browser settings; however, this may prevent the website from functioning correctly (for example, you may not be able to log in or complete a purchase).

Fraud & Financial Misuse Prevention

IFMOSA actively prevents fraud and financial misuse through a combination of automated systems and human review. All users are screened to ensure legitimacy. Suspicious activities are investigated, and, if necessary, accounts or job postings are suspended. Our goal is to create a reliable environment where users can trust that all activity is verified and genuine.
