2. Why we use cookies
We use cookies for four purposes: to sign you in securely, to remember your preferences (e.g., dark mode), to keep the Service safe from abuse, and — only with your consent — to measure how the Service is used so we can improve it.
3. Your choices
When you first visit the Service we show a banner that lets you accept or decline analytics cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are set without consent because the Service cannot function without them.
You can change your choice at any time by clicking the “Cookie settings” link in the footer or by clearing cookies in your browser. You can also disable cookies entirely in your browser settings, but parts of the Service (sign-in, billing) will stop working.
We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal — if your browser sends it, we treat that as a refusal of optional cookies.
4. Third-party cookies
When you accept analytics in our banner, Google Analytics 4 may set cookies under the google.com domain. We have Consent Mode v2 enabled and IP anonymisation on, but Google operates those cookies under its own privacy policy.
Plausible Analytics is configured cookieless — it does not store identifiers in your browser. We mention it here only for transparency.
5. Changes to this policy
We will update this Cookie Policy whenever we add or remove cookies. Material changes will be flagged in-product and require fresh consent for new categories.
