1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the website operator. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third parties whose services are used by that website (“third-party cookies”). Similar technologies, such as local storage and tokens, may also be used to store information on your device for comparable purposes; references to “cookies” in this Policy include such technologies.
2. Cookies We Use
The table below describes the cookies and similar technologies we use and why:

3. Cookie Categories
- Essential cookies: These cookies are strictly 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, setting your privacy preferences, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, the Service cannot be provided. You cannot opt out of essential cookies.
- Functional cookies: These cookies allow us to measure and analyze how the Service is used, including which features are accessed, so that we can improve performance and the user experience.
- Third-party cookies:These cookies are set by third-party services we use, such as Stripe (for payment processing and fraud prevention) and Google (for the optional OAuth sign-in flow). These cookies are governed by the respective third party’s own cookie and privacy policies.
4. How to Control Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways. Most web browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies through their settings. You can usually find these controls in the “Settings,” “Preferences,” or “Privacy” menu of your browser. For more detailed information about cookies and how to manage them, you can visit aboutcookies.org.
Please note that if you choose to block or delete cookies, some parts of the Service may not function properly. In particular, disabling essential cookies will break core functionality and prevent you from signing in or using the Service.
5. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
