Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They enable core features like authentication and security. You cannot opt out of essential cookies while using the service — without them, you would not be able to log in or access your account.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember your preferences to improve your experience. These are not required for the site to work but make it more convenient. They are stored in localStorage rather than traditional cookies.
Third-Party Cookies
Our payment provider Stripe may set cookies when you complete a purchase. These are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy. We have no control over Stripe's cookies.
We do not use any other third-party cookies. We do not use Facebook Pixel, Google Ads, or any other advertising or tracking cookies.
