1 What cookies are
Cookies are small files a website stores on your device. Similar technologies (local storage, pixels) work the same way. They let a site remember things like your login session or your preferences, and — if you allow it — measure how the site is used.
2 How we use them
We use a small number of essential cookies to run the Service, and — only with your consent — analytics and marketing cookies. When you first visit, our cookie banner lets you accept or decline the non-essential categories. We record your choice so we can honour it.
3 Categories we set
| Category | Purpose | Consent |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Keep you logged in, secure the session, remember your cookie choice and theme. The site can't function without these. | Always on |
| Analytics | Help us understand which pages are used so we can improve the Service. [e.g. your analytics tool — confirm.] | Opt-in |
| Marketing | Measure campaigns and attribute referrals/affiliates where you arrived via a partner link. | Opt-in |
[Lawyer/ops: replace this with the exact cookie names, providers, and durations your deployed site actually sets.]
4 Your consent
Non-essential cookies are off by default and are only set after you agree via the banner. Referral and affiliate attribution by cookie only happens if you accept marketing cookies; if you decline, we fall back to code-based attribution (the code you type at sign-up). You can change your mind at any time.
5 Managing cookies
Update your choices any time through the cookie controls on our site [link the "Cookie settings" control here once wired]. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the Service from working.
6 Third parties
Some cookies may be set by providers we use, such as our payment providers during checkout. Those providers process data under their own policies. We list the providers we share data with in our Privacy Policy.
7 Changes
We may update this policy as our cookie use changes. The "last updated" date above shows the current version.
