Cookie Policy
Transparency about how we use cookies and similar technologies.
Last updated: February 14, 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until they expire or are deleted) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser).
Similar technologies include localStorage and sessionStorage, which allow websites to store data locally in your browser.
2. Essential Cookies We Use
We use only the minimum storage necessary for the Service to function properly:
• Theme Preference (localStorage): We store your light/dark mode preference so the Service remembers your display settings across visits. This uses your browser's localStorage and is not a traditional cookie — it is never sent to any server.
These are strictly necessary for the Service to provide a consistent user experience. They cannot be disabled without affecting the functionality of the Service.
3. Analytics & Third-Party Cookies
We do not currently use any analytics cookies, advertising cookies, social media cookies, or any other form of third-party tracking cookies.
We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any similar tracking technologies. We do not engage in behavioral advertising, retargeting, or cross-site tracking.
If we decide to implement analytics in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy and, where required by law, seek your consent before placing any non-essential cookies on your device.
4. Your Cookie Choices
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
• View what cookies are stored on your device and delete them individually or in bulk.
• Block third-party cookies.
• Block all cookies from specific or all websites.
• Clear all cookies when you close your browser.
Please note that if you choose to block or delete cookies (including localStorage), your theme preference may not be saved between sessions.
For more information about managing cookies in your browser, visit your browser's help documentation or allaboutcookies.org.
5. GDPR & CCPA Compliance
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we rely on "legitimate interest" as the legal basis for the essential localStorage we use, as it is strictly necessary for core Service functionality.
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), we do not sell personal information, and we do not use cookies for cross-context behavioral advertising.
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or California, you have specific rights regarding your data. Since we only use essential storage and do not track users, these rights are substantially satisfied by design.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our cookie practices.
