Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the platform. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and session storage.

Essential cookies are required for the platform to function. They enable core features like authentication, security, and payment processing. These cannot be disabled without breaking the platform.

Preference cookies remember choices you make (theme, location history) to provide a personalized experience. Disabling them means the platform won’t remember your preferences between visits.

Performance/analytics cookies help us understand how users interact with the platform so we can improve it. They collect aggregated, anonymous data.

We do not use advertising or targeting cookies. We do not sell cookie data or use it for cross-site behavioral advertising.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Other Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions

You can also clear local storage and session storage through your browser’s developer tools.

Note: Blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in or using core platform features.

Some cookies are set by third-party services we integrate with:

• Stripe: Sets cookies for payment fraud detection. See Stripe’s Privacy Policy.
• Google Maps: May set cookies when the map is loaded. See Google’s Privacy Policy.

We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies.
