Cookie Policy

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the service secure, remember your preferences, understand how the site is used, and support optional features. This policy explains which technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your choices.

What we mean by "cookies"

Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. We may also use similar technologies, including local storage, session storage, and service worker caches. For simplicity, this policy refers to all of these technologies as "cookies" unless a specific technology is identified.

Types of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function securely. They may support sign-in sessions, request validation, fraud and abuse prevention, load balancing, and bot protection. Because they are essential to the service, they cannot be disabled through our website settings.

Functional cookies

These cookies remember choices you make, such as interface preferences, dismissed notices, picker progress, and consent selections. They help provide a more consistent experience across visits.

Analytics cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the website, including popular pages, device categories, approximate geographic regions, and general interaction patterns. Google may place cookies such as _ga on your device. For more information about how Google processes data, see Google's Privacy Policy. Where required by applicable law, analytics cookies are used only after you provide consent.

Third-party sign-in

When you sign in through a third-party provider such as Google, that provider may set or access its own cookies according to its privacy and cookie policies. We do not control those cookies. Review the provider's documentation to learn how it uses cookies and how you can manage them.

How long cookies remain on your device

Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until their stated expiration date or until you delete them. Their duration depends on their purpose and may range from a few minutes to several months.

How to manage cookies

  • Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies for individual websites. Blocking essential cookies may prevent sign-in, saving, or other core features from working correctly.
  • Private or incognito browsing usually removes cookies and local storage when the private session ends, although exact behavior depends on your browser.
  • You may also use advertising and analytics opt-out controls provided by Google, your browser, or recognized industry preference services.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our use of cookies changes or when legal and technical requirements evolve. When we make changes, we will update the date shown above. Significant changes may also be communicated through a notice on the website.
