Cookies Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site owners. Similar technologies such as local storage and pixels can serve the same purposes; we refer to all of these as “cookies” here.

2. How we use cookies

Strictly necessary

These are required for the site and app to function — for example, keeping you signed in (handled by our authentication provider, Clerk), security, and load balancing. They cannot be switched off through our site.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate traffic — pages viewed, approximate location, device, and referrer — so we can improve the site. These cookies are only set where permitted, and we configure them to limit the data collected.

Functional

Some cookies remember choices you make (such as dismissing a banner) to give you a smoother experience. These are optional.

3. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services on our behalf, including Google Analytics (analytics), Clerk (authentication), and Stripe (payments and fraud prevention on checkout). Their use of cookies is governed by their own policies.

4. Managing cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings, and you can block non-essential cookies. Note that blocking some cookies may affect how the site works. To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on. Where required by law in your region, we will ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies.

5. Changes

We may update this Cookies Policy as our site and tools change. Material changes will be reflected by the “last updated” date above.
