  • Preference cookies: Remember your settings and choices to personalize your experience.
  • Analytics cookies: Help us measure traffic and usage patterns in aggregate. Where used, data is anonymized or pseudonymized where possible.

Third‑Party Cookies

Some features may rely on third‑party services that set their own cookies. Examples can include analytics, payment processing, and embedded content. Where these are used, they are governed by the respective third party’s policies.

Note: Specific third‑party tools may change over time as we evolve our product. Refer to our Privacy Policy for the latest details on data sharing and processors.
