# Cookie Policy

Last updated: July 23, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website and use our services.

## What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

## Types of Cookies We Use

### Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation, secure access to authenticated areas, and remembering your preferences. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

Examples include:

- Session cookies to keep you logged in

- Security cookies for authentication

- Cookies that remember your cookie consent preferences

### Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They help us improve our website's performance and user experience.

Examples include:

- Analytics cookies to track page views and navigation patterns

- Cookies that measure load times and site performance

We also operate our own first-party, cookieless analytics: it counts events
such as page views and tool usage without setting any cookie and without
building cross-site profiles.

In addition, we use Google Analytics (Google Analytics 4) to understand how
visitors find and use our website, and Google Ads conversion measurement.
These tools set their own cookies and may collect data such as the pages you
view, the source that referred you, and actions like sign-ups or purchases.

### Consent & Google Consent Mode

For visitors in the European Economic Area, analytics and advertising cookies
are set only after you accept them via our cookie banner. Until you accept,
Google's tools run in a consent-restricted mode without storing cookies or
personal identifiers (Google Consent Mode v2). You can change your choice at any
time by clearing this site's data (cookies and site storage) in your browser —
the banner will then ask again on your next visit.

### Functionality Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences and settings.

Examples include:

- Language preference cookies

- Theme preference cookies (light/dark mode)

- Cookies that remember your display preferences

### Marketing Cookies

These cookies may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites.

We do not use advertising-network cookies that build cross-site interest
profiles. The only advertising-related measurement we use is Google Ads
conversion measurement described above — and, like analytics, it runs only
after you accept cookies via the banner.

## Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these cookies. The third-party services we use may include:

- Analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics)

- Payment processors (e.g., Stripe)

- Authentication services

Please refer to the respective privacy policies of these third parties for more information about their cookies.

## How to Manage Cookies

- Authentication cookies : Typically expire after 30 days of inactivity
