What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a site. They let us keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and understand how you use the service.

How we use them

  • Keep you signed in to your account
  • Remember your preferences and settings
  • Improve performance
  • Provide security and prevent fraud

Types we use

Strictly necessary

Essential for the site to function. Used for authentication, session management, security, and core functionality. These can't be disabled without breaking the service.

Functional storage

We use browser localStorage and sessionStorage (not cookies) to remember your theme preference and notification state. You can clear this through your browser, though some things may stop working smoothly.

Third-party cookies

Duration

Session cookies

Deleted when you close your browser. Used for authentication and security.

Persistent cookies

  • Authentication: 30 days to 1 year
  • Preferences (localStorage): until manually cleared

Controlling cookies

Most browsers let you manage cookies in settings. You can view, delete, block, or clear on close.
