Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, to work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owners. Similar technologies — such as local storage and pixels — serve comparable purposes, and we refer to them all as “cookies” in this policy.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to operate and secure our website, remember your preferences (such as your selected language), keep you signed in to your dashboard, and understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. You stay in control — you can accept or decline non-essential cookies through our banner at any time.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary: Required for the website to function — for example, keeping you logged in to your dashboard, remembering your cookie choice, and protecting forms from abuse. These cannot be switched off.

Functional: Remember choices you make — such as your preferred language (NEXT_LOCALE) — to give you a more personalized experience.

Analytics & Performance: Help us understand how visitors interact with the site — which pages are visited and how people navigate — so we can measure and improve performance. This data is aggregated and used in a way that does not directly identify you.

Marketing: Used to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns and show more relevant content. These are only set with your consent.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by trusted third-party services we use to run and improve our site. These include Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (usage analytics), Microsoft Clarity (session insights), Google Ads (campaign measurement), Google reCAPTCHA (spam and abuse protection), and Stripe (secure payment processing). These providers process data under their own privacy policies.

5. How Long Cookies Last

Session cookies: Temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser.

Persistent cookies: Remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them — for example, the cookie that remembers your consent choice.

6. Managing Your Preferences

When you first visit our site you can accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your mind later by clearing the “cookieConsent” entry in your browser storage, which makes the banner appear again. Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies in their settings — note that disabling some cookies may affect how the site works.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or for legal reasons. We will post the revised version on this page and update the date above.
