Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to site owners.

Cookies can be “persistent” (remaining on your device until they expire or you delete them) or “session” (deleted automatically when you close your browser). They can be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services operating on that website (“third-party cookies”).

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• To operate our platform — Ensuring core functionality like page navigation, secure access, and session management.
• To remember your preferences — Storing your language, display settings, and consent choices so you don’t have to set them each time you visit.
• To understand usage — Analysing how visitors interact with our platform so we can improve performance, content, and features.
• To enhance security — Detecting and preventing fraudulent activity and protecting your account.

Some cookies on our platform are set by third-party services that we use. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies:

• Google Analytics — Google Privacy Policy
• Cookiebot — Cookiebot Privacy Policy
• Vercel — Vercel Privacy Policy
• Google reCAPTCHA — Used to protect our forms from spam and abuse. Google Privacy Policy

We do not control these third-party cookies. Please refer to the respective privacy policies for more information on how they process your data.

• Local Storage: Data stored in your browser that persists across sessions. Used for storing user preferences and application state.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but cleared when the browser tab is closed. Used for temporary session data.
• Pixels / Web Beacons: Tiny transparent images embedded in pages or emails that help us track page views and email opens.

These technologies are subject to the same consent requirements as cookies and can be managed through your browser settings and our consent tool.

The retention period for cookies depends on their type:

• Session Cookies: Automatically deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device for a set period (typically between 30 days and 2 years) or until you delete them.
