We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Essential / authentication: to keep you signed in, protect sessions, and enable core product functionality.
- Preferences: to remember UI and product settings, where available.
- Performance and analytics: to understand usage patterns, diagnose issues, and improve reliability and UX.

3. Types of cookies we may use
Session cookies expire when you close your browser and are typically used to support active sessions and sign-in flows.
Persistent cookies remain for a set period and may be used to remember preferences or support analytics.
We may also use local storage or similar browser technologies for feature state and UX improvements.
4. Third-party technologies
We may use third-party service providers (such as analytics, hosting, authentication, and support tooling providers) that set or access cookies and similar technologies on our behalf to operate and improve the Service.
These providers process data subject to their own privacy terms and applicable agreements with us.
5. Your choices
Most browsers let you control cookies through settings, including blocking or deleting cookies. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect site functionality, including login and account-related features.
If we present a cookie preference tool or consent banner in your region, you can use it to manage non-essential cookies.
6. Do Not Track
Browser “Do Not Track” signals are not uniformly supported across services and technologies, so we do not currently respond to DNT signals in a standardized way.
