Cookie Policy

We use a small number of cookies to make our website work and to understand how it is used.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners information about how their site is used.

Cookies set by us are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by third parties (e.g., analytics providers) are called third-party cookies. Both types may be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them).

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

Examples include your dark/light mode preference and session authentication tokens. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but some parts of the site may then not work.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and understand how visitors move around the site.

We use Vercel Analytics (privacy-first, no personal data stored) and optionally Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. All analytics data is aggregated and anonymized.

Marketing Cookies

We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies. If this changes, we will update this policy and seek your consent where required by applicable law.
