What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use them to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and understand how the platform is used so we can improve it.

Cookies we use

Essential cookies

Required

Required for the platform to function. These include session authentication tokens that keep you logged in, CSRF protection tokens, and security cookies. You cannot disable these without breaking the service.

Examples: Session token, auth cookie, CSRF token

Preference cookies

Optional

Remember your settings and preferences — such as your dark mode preference, notification settings, and last-visited section of the app.

Examples: Theme preference, language, last-viewed tab

Analytics cookies

Optional

Anonymised data about how users navigate the platform. This helps us understand which features are used most and where we should invest in improvements. We use Plausible Analytics — privacy-first, no personal data, no cross-site tracking.

Examples: Page views (anonymised), feature usage

What we don't do

  • We do not use advertising cookies or sell data to ad networks.
  • We do not use cross-site tracking cookies.
