3. Cookie Types Explained

Essential Cookies

These are strictly necessary for the Platform to function. They enable login sessions, security tokens, and core functionality. You cannot opt out of essential cookies as the site will not work without them.

Functional Cookies

These improve your experience by remembering your preferences, such as theme settings and login state. Disabling them means you may need to reset your preferences on each visit.

4. Third-Party Cookies

We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies. We do not use cookies from Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or similar marketing platforms. Any third-party scripts (CDN-delivered CSS, JS libraries) may use local storage for caching purposes but do not track your identity across websites.

5. Managing Cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in. Most browsers allow you to:

View all cookies currently stored
Delete specific or all cookies
Block all cookies or cookies from specific sites
Set preferences for future cookies

Browser-specific instructions are available at your browser's help documentation (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

6. Theme Preference (Local Storage)

In addition to cookies, we store your dark/light theme preference in your browser's local storage. This is not a cookie and is not transmitted to our servers. It persists until you clear your browser data.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as we introduce new features. Significant changes will be communicated via in-app notification. Continued use of the Platform implies acceptance of the current policy.
