Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember user preferences, and provide information to the website owners. Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (remain until they expire or are deleted).

2. Cookies We Use

2.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Service to function properly and cannot be disabled.

• Session token: An HTTP-only cookie that maintains your authenticated session after login. This token expires after 24 hours or when you log out.
• CSRF token: A cookie that protects against Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. It ensures that form submissions and state-changing requests originate from the Service itself. This token expires at the end of your session.
• Theme preference: A cookie that remembers your dark/light mode preference so the Service displays consistently across visits. This is stored in your browser's localStorage rather than as a server cookie.

2.2 Analytics Cookies

We collect anonymous usage statistics to understand how the Service is used and to improve it. This includes:

• Pages visited and features used
• Session duration and frequency
• Browser type and device category

This data is collected in aggregate and cannot be used to identify individual users. We do not use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) that place their own cookies.

2.3 No Third-Party Tracking Cookies

We do not use any third-party tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or cookies from social media platforms. We do not sell or share cookie data with third parties for advertising purposes.

3. How We Use Cookies

• Authentication: Session tokens verify your identity and maintain your logged-in state across page loads and API requests
• Preferences: Theme and display preferences are stored to provide a personalised experience
• Security: CSRF tokens protect you from cross-site request forgery attacks, ensuring that actions taken on your behalf are intentional

4. Managing Cookies

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. However, please note:

• Disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using the Service. Authentication and session management depend on these cookies.
• Disabling analytics cookies will not affect core functionality, but we will have less visibility into how the Service is used.
• Browser-specific instructions for managing cookies are available in your browser's help documentation.

To clear cookies already stored on your device, use your browser's privacy or browsing history settings to delete them.

5. Third-Party Cookies

We currently do not embed any third-party content that sets cookies (e.g., social media widgets, embedded videos, or third-party analytics).

If we add third-party analytics or integrations in the future that use cookies, we will update this policy and notify you of the change. Any new cookies will be categorised and documented before they are introduced.

6. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be notified via email or prominent notice on the Service. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
