1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as login state, language, or theme) over a period of time, so you do not have to re-enter them every time you return or move between pages. Similar technologies — including local storage, pixels, and tags — work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy.
2. Types of cookies we use
We use four broad categories of cookies. The exact set may change over time as our website and tooling evolve.
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Required for the site to function — security, load balancing, session continuity, and remembering your cookie preferences. | Session ID, CSRF token, consent state | Session – 12 months |
| Performance & analytics | Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can measure performance and improve content. | Google Analytics, Vercel Analytics, similar | Up to 24 months |
| Functional | Remember your preferences (e.g. language, theme) to give you a smoother experience on return visits. | Theme (dark / light), language, UI preferences | Up to 12 months |
| Advertising | Used only if explicitly enabled — to measure campaign performance and limit how often you see the same message. | Marketing platform pixels, retargeting tags | Up to 13 months |
3. Why we use cookies
We use cookies to:
- keep the website secure and functioning correctly;
- remember your preferences such as theme (dark or light) and language;
- understand how visitors interact with our content so we can improve it;
- measure the performance of our marketing campaigns — only where you have opted in.
4. Third-party cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services that we use — for example, analytics providers such as Google Analytics or Vercel Analytics, and embedded media or marketing platforms. Those third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies governing how they handle the data they collect. We do not control these third-party cookies, but we choose providers carefully and limit the data they receive wherever possible.
5. Managing & disabling cookies
You can control or disable cookies in several ways:
- through your browser settings — most browsers let you block or delete cookies and warn you before accepting new ones;
- through the cookie banner or preferences panel on our site, where one is shown;
- through opt-out tools offered directly by third-party providers (for example, the Google Analytics opt-out).
Please note that disabling some cookies — particularly strictly necessary ones — may affect how the site works for you, including features such as logging in or saving preferences.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use, applicable law, or operational practice. The current version is always posted on this page with the “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review it periodically.
