1. What Are Cookies

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

2. How We Use Cookies

2.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They include:

Authentication tokens: to keep you logged in to your account (JWT tokens stored in localStorage)

Security: to protect against cross-site request forgery and other threats

2.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization:

Theme preference: to remember your dark/light mode preference
Language settings: to remember your preferred language
Referral tracking: to store affiliate referral codes for attribution (30-day expiry)

2.3 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website:

Page views: to understand which pages are most popular

Referral codes: affiliate referral code and timestamp (expires after 30 days)
Click deduplication: flags to prevent duplicate referral click tracking

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some third-party services we integrate with may set their own cookies:

Cryptomus: our payment processor may use cookies during the payment flow
Google OAuth: when you use "Sign in with Google", Google may set authentication cookies

We do not control third-party cookies. Please refer to the respective third-party privacy policies for more information.

5. Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

5.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can:

View and delete existing cookies
Block all cookies or only third-party cookies
Set preferences for certain websites
Configure your browser to notify you when a cookie is set

Please note that blocking essential cookies may impact the functionality of our Services.

5.2 Clearing Local Storage

To clear local storage data, you can use your browser's developer tools or clear all site data through browser settings. Note that this will log you out of your account.

6. Cookie Retention

Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser
Authentication tokens: persist until you log out or the token expires
Preference cookies: persist until you clear your browser data
Referral cookies: expire after 30 days

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature. Our website currently does not respond to DNT signals, as there is no industry-standard interpretation of DNT for online services.
