Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences and understand how you interact with the site. Cookies can be "first party" (set by us) or "third party" (set by external services we use).

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential cookies: Required for the Service to function properly. These handle authentication (keeping you logged in), security (CSRF protection), and session management. You cannot opt out of these.
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use the platform so we can improve it. We use PostHog for product analytics. These cookies track page views, feature usage, and general interaction patterns.
• Preference cookies: Store your settings and preferences (like theme, dashboard layout, or notification settings) so you don't have to set them every time you visit.

We do not use advertising cookies or sell data collected through cookies to third parties.

• View what cookies are stored on your device
• Delete individual or all cookies

5. Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies like local storage and session storage to store preferences and cache data locally in your browser for performance. These work similarly to cookies but are stored differently. The same controls described above apply.

6. Data Retention and Sharing

Data collected through cookies is retained according to the durations listed in the table above. We do not sell data collected through cookies. Analytics data processed by PostHog is subject to PostHog's privacy practices.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
