Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 2026
What this page covers
This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them. We've written it in plain language because privacy notices should be readable, not intimidating.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your browser. They let a site remember things about your visit — like whether you're signed in, what language you prefer, or how you found us. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels. We use the word "cookies" to cover all of them.
The four categories we use
We group cookies into four categories so you can choose what you're comfortable with. When you first visit our site, you'll see a banner that lets you accept or decline each category (except Essential, which is required for the site to function).
Essential
These cookies keep the site running. They handle things like login sessions, security tokens, and remembering what's in your form if you navigate away. You can't switch these off — the site simply wouldn't work without them.
Typical examples
session_id, csrf_token, auth_state
Duration
Session to 30 days
Analytics & Performance
These help us understand how people use the site — which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and where they came from. The data is aggregated and anonymized; we never use it to identify individuals.
Typical examples
_ga, _gid, page_view_count
Duration
1 day to 2 years
Functional
These remember choices you make so the site feels personalized — things like your preferred language, whether you've seen an onboarding tip, or display settings.
Typical examples
theme_preference, language, ui_state
Duration
30 days to 1 year
Marketing & Advertising
These are used to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns and to avoid showing you the same ad repeatedly. We do not sell your data to third parties for advertising.
Typical examples
campaign_ref, ad_conversion
Duration
30 to 90 days
Third-party cookies
We use a small number of trusted third-party services — for example, analytics providers and embedded video players. These services may set their own cookies. We only work with providers who meet our privacy standards and who process data in compliance with GDPR and other applicable laws.
How to manage or withdraw consent
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of any page. You can also clear cookies through your browser settings:
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew.
Privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws like the EU GDPR, the UK Data Protection Act, or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA). These include the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. For more details, see our Privacy Policy or contact us directly.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect new technologies or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always show the latest version.
