1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let the site remember you across page loads and visits. Similar technologies (local storage, session storage) work the same way.
2. Cookies we use
- Strictly necessary — sign-in sessions, admin gating, checkout state, and security tokens. The site cannot function without these.
- Preference — remembering settings like theme or dismissing a banner.
- Analytics — aggregated, non-identifying counts of page views and referrers so we can improve the site.
We do not use cookies for cross-site advertising or to build advertising profiles.
3. Third parties
Our payment processor (Stripe) sets cookies during checkout for fraud prevention and to remember your saved payment methods. These are governed by Stripe's own privacy and cookie policies.
4. Managing cookies
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of the Service (checkout, sign-in) from working.
5. Changes
If we materially change how we use cookies, we will update the "Effective" date above.
