1. What we use today

We currently use only STRICTLY-NECESSARY cookies and functional local storage — the things the Service needs to sign you in, keep you signed in, and remember your interface preferences. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

3. Consent

Strictly-necessary cookies do not require consent because the Service cannot function without them. If we introduce analytics or marketing cookies in the future, we will ask for your consent first and will not set them until you agree — you will be able to accept or reject them, and change your choice at any time.

4. Managing cookies

You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings, but blocking strictly-necessary cookies will prevent sign-in and payments from working. Your cookie-consent choice for any future non-essential cookies is stored on this device and can be changed at any time.
