Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They help the website recognize your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, and improve your browsing experience.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on our Service as follows:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the Service to function. These include session cookies for authentication, security tokens (CSRF protection), and load balancing. These cookies cannot be disabled without impairing the Service
• Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences and settings, such as language selection, theme (dark mode), and billing cycle preferences. These enhance your experience but are not essential
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our Service by collecting usage statistics anonymously. We use privacy-focused analytics to track page views, session duration, and feature usage without tracking individual users across sites
• Performance Cookies: Monitor application performance, error rates, and load times to help us optimize the Service

3. Third-Party Cookies

We minimize the use of third-party cookies. The following third-party services may set cookies on your device:

• Authentication Providers: Google OAuth sets cookies necessary for social login functionality
• Payment Processors: Our payment provider may set cookies to facilitate secure payment transactions and fraud prevention
• Analytics: We use privacy-focused analytics tools that rely primarily on server-side tracking and set minimal cookies

4. Managing Cookies

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the Service.

Please refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions on how to manage cookies. Note that clearing cookies will log you out of the Service and reset any saved preferences.

5. Cookie Retention

Session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. Authentication cookies used by our Service typically expire after 7 days of inactivity.

6. Do Not Track

We respect Do Not Track (DNT) signals sent by your browser. When a DNT signal is detected, we disable non-essential analytics cookies for your session.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
