Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site’s operators. Similar technologies, such as browser local storage, perform comparable functions. Cookies set by the site you are visiting are called “first-party” cookies; cookies set by another domain are called “third-party” cookies.

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your choices, keep the Service secure, and understand how the Service is used so we can improve it. We group the cookies we use into the two categories described below.

These cookies are necessary for the Service to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as signing in or setting your privacy preferences. Without them, core features of the Service — including authentication — will not work. Because they are strictly necessary, we do not ask for consent to use them.

The essential cookies we use include:

• access_token and refresh_token — keep you securely signed in to your account between page loads and requests. They are cleared when you sign out.
• cookie_consent — remembers whether you accepted or declined optional analytics cookies, so we do not ask you again on every visit. It is stored for approximately twelve (12) months.

With your consent, we use analytics cookies to understand how visitors find and use the Service — for example, which pages are viewed and how often — so we can measure and improve performance. We use Google Analytics for this purpose, which sets its own cookies (such as those beginning with “_ga”) to distinguish visitors and sessions. You can review how Google handles this data in the Google Privacy Policy.

Analytics cookies are optional. We load Google Analytics only after you accept analytics cookies, and never before. If analytics is not configured for the Service, no analytics cookies are set and no consent banner is shown.

When you first visit the Service, we show a banner that lets you accept or decline optional analytics cookies. Because analytics cookies load only if you accept, declining the banner — or not responding to it — keeps analytics off. Essential cookies are always active because the Service cannot function without them.

You can change your choice at any time by clearing the cookies for our site in your browser, which makes the banner appear again on your next visit. Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies through their settings, though blocking essential cookies may prevent you from signing in or using parts of the Service. Some browsers can send a “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, which we honor as described in our Privacy Policy.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or for legal or operational reasons. When we make material changes, we will post the updated policy with a new “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.

If you have questions about this Cookie Policy or our use of cookies, contact us at [PRIVACY EMAIL]. For more about how we handle personal information, see our Privacy Policy.
