Analytics
We prioritize your privacy and use cookieless analytics to understand how the Service is used. This means:
- No tracking cookies are placed on your device
- No cross-site tracking
- No personal data is collected for analytics
- We only collect aggregated, anonymized usage statistics
This approach allows us to improve the Service while respecting your privacy and complying with privacy regulations without requiring cookie consent banners for analytics.
Third-Party Cookies
We minimize third-party cookies. However, some may be set by:
- Google OAuth: If you sign in with Google, Google may set cookies for authentication
- Cloudflare: Our infrastructure provider may set security cookies to protect against attacks
These third-party cookies are subject to the respective providers' privacy policies.
Managing Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View what cookies are stored
- Delete all or specific cookies
- Block all or third-party cookies
- Set preferences for specific websites
Note: Blocking essential cookies will prevent the Service from functioning properly. You won't be able to log in or use authenticated features.
Browser-Specific Instructions
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. Since we use cookieless analytics and don't track users across sites, we effectively honor DNT by default.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We will update the "Last updated" date when changes are made.
