2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies:

• Strictly necessary cookies: required for the Platform to function, such as maintaining your login session and remembering your preferences. The Platform cannot work properly without these.
• Preference cookies: remember your choices such as theme or accessibility settings.
• Analytics cookies: help us understand how visitors use the Platform so we can improve it, by collecting aggregated, anonymous usage data.
• Security cookies: support fraud prevention and account protection.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services we use, including our payment provider (Stripe) for secure checkout and analytics providers for usage measurement. These third parties may use cookies subject to their own privacy and cookie policies.

4. How Long Cookies Stay

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. We keep persistent cookies only as long as needed for their purpose.

5. Managing Cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent the Platform from functioning, including the ability to log in or complete checkout.

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. We do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals, but we limit the personal data we collect and use analytics in an aggregated, privacy-conscious way.
