What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and enable certain features.
Our Cookie Philosophy
We use only essential cookies required to operate the Service. We do not use:
- Advertising cookies
- Third-party tracking cookies
- Social media cookies
- Analytics cookies that track individual users

Third-Party Services

Managing Cookies
Browser Settings
You can control cookies through your browser settings:
| Browser | Instructions |
|---|---|
| Chrome | Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies |
| Firefox | Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies |
| Safari | Preferences > Privacy > Cookies |
| Edge | Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies |
Important Note
If you disable essential cookies, the Service may not function properly. Specifically:
- You will not be able to stay logged in
- Form submissions may fail due to CSRF protection
- You may encounter repeated security challenges
Cookie Consent
Because we use only essential cookies, consent is not legally required under GDPR (Article 6(1)(f) - legitimate interest) or ePrivacy Directive (strictly necessary exemption).
However, we display a cookie notice to:
- Inform you about the cookies we use
- Provide transparency about our data practices
- Allow you to understand what's stored on your device
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature. Since we don't track users for advertising purposes, our response to DNT signals doesn't change our behavior - we already don't track you.
Summary
| Category | Count | Consent Required |

| Analytics | 0 | N/A |
| Advertising | 0 | N/A |
