1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how you interact with the platform.
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags, which serve comparable purposes. References to “cookies” in this policy include all such technologies.
2. Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary
Required for authentication, session management, security protections (CSRF tokens), and core platform operation. These cannot be disabled without breaking the service.
Functional
Remember your language preference, theme setting, and interface customizations. These improve your experience but are not strictly required.
Performance & Analytics
Help us understand how users interact with the platform — which pages are most visited, where errors occur, and how features are used. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some integrated services may set cookies under their own domains. These include:
Payment processing: Our payment provider may set cookies for fraud detection and secure checkout functionality.
Video sessions: Our video infrastructure provider may use cookies or local storage to manage session quality and connectivity.
Authentication providers: If you sign in through a social login (Google, GitHub), the identity provider may set their own cookies during the authentication flow.
4. Cookie Duration
Session cookies are temporary and deleted when you close your browser. These are used primarily for authentication and security.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (typically 30 days to 1 year) or until you delete them. These are used for preferences and analytics.
5. Managing Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from specific or all websites.
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in and using core platform features. Blocking functional cookies may affect your personalization preferences.
For instructions on managing cookies in your browser, visit your browser's help documentation or settings page.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. There is no universal standard for how websites should respond to this signal. We do not currently alter our data collection practices based on DNT signals, but we do not engage in cross-site user tracking.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our platform evolves or as regulatory requirements change. Material changes will be communicated through the platform.
