Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They are widely used to make websites work, to keep you signed in, and to remember your preferences. We also use your browser’s local storage for similar purposes (for example, remembering your cookie choice).

Strictly necessary (always on)

• Authentication (Clerk): when you sign in, our authentication provider Clerk sets cookies to keep you securely logged in and to protect against fraud. The Service cannot function without these.
• Cookie consent preference:we store your choice (“accept all” or “essential only”) in your browser’s local storage so we don’t ask you on every visit.
• Payments (Stripe): when you make a purchase, Stripe may set cookies on its checkout to process the payment securely and prevent fraud.

Analytics (optional, with consent)

We do notcurrently run third-party analytics or advertising cookies. If we introduce privacy-friendly analytics in the future, we will only enable them after you consent via the cookie banner, and we will update this policy first. Choosing “essential only” means no optional cookies are set.

When you first visit, our cookie banner lets you choose between “Accept all” and “Essential only”. You can change your mind at any time by clearing this site’s data in your browser, which will prompt the banner again.

You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in and using core features. Guidance for common browsers is available at aboutcookies.org.

Some cookies are set by the third-party services we rely on to operate (Clerk for authentication and Stripe for payments). These providers process data under their own privacy policies. See our Privacy Policy for the full list of processors.

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes. The “Last updated” date above reflects the latest revision.
