1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences and understand how you interact with the site. Cookies can be "persistent" (remain until deleted or expired) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser).

Analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to understand how visitors use our website. These cookies collect information anonymously and help us improve the platform.

| _ga_* | Maintains session state (Google Analytics 4) | 2 years |
| _gid | Distinguishes users for 24 hours (Google Analytics) | 24 hours |
3. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymized usage data. This helps us understand which features are most used, identify issues, and improve the platform.
Google Analytics collects:
- Pages visited and time spent
- Clicks and user interactions
- Device type, browser, and screen size
- Approximate location (country/city level, based on anonymized IP)
- Referral source (how you found our website)
We have configured Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. We do not use Google Analytics for advertising or remarketing purposes.
4. Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager (GTM) is a tag management system that loads and manages Google Analytics on our website. GTM itself does not collect personal data or set cookies — it is used solely to deploy and manage the analytics tags described above.
5. Third-party cookies
We do not use any advertising, social media, or remarketing cookies. The only third-party cookies on our website are the Google Analytics cookies listed above.
6. Managing cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Here are links to manage cookies in common browsers:
You can also opt out of Google Analytics specifically by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent parts of the platform from functioning correctly.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we change the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
