Cookies Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the site owners. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and similar browser storage mechanisms, which this policy covers as well.

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• keep you signed in and manage your authenticated session;
• remember preferences such as theme and display settings;
• operate, secure, and monitor the Service, including fraud and abuse detection;
• measure and understand aggregate usage so we can improve the Service.

We do not use cookies for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we do not sell personal information as described in our Privacy Policy.

• Strictly necessary cookies. Required for the Service to function, such as maintaining your sign-in session. These cannot be disabled if you want to use the Service.
• Preference cookies. Remember your settings, such as whether you prefer light or dark mode.
• Analytics and operational cookies. Help us understand how the Service is used and diagnose issues so we can improve performance and reliability.

Our authentication session cookie is first-party to the Service. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

Session cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you remove them, so that preferences and other information persist across sessions. Most preference and analytics cookies are persistent; authentication session cookies are typically session-based with a limited lifetime.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies, block third-party cookies, or clear cookies on exit. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent the Service from working correctly — for example, you may not be able to stay signed in. Disabling preference or analytics cookies does not affect core functionality.

Some features or embedded content may involve third-party providers that set their own cookies, such as our payment processor or analytics provider. These third parties control their own cookies subject to their own policies. We do not control and are not responsible for their cookie practices.

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no industry consensus on how to interpret this signal, we do not currently respond to it in a special way. We do not use cookies for cross-context advertising. You can control cookies as described above.

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
