Cookie Policy

Last updated: May 2026

Short version: We use a small number of cookies. Essential ones keep you logged in. Analytics ones (which you can opt out of) help us improve the platform. We do not use advertising cookies.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as whether you are logged in — so it works correctly on your next visit. We also use similar technologies like localStorage and session storage for some functional preferences.
