Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website or use an app. They let the platform remember your actions and preferences over time, keep you signed in, and operate securely. We also use similar technologies, such as local storage and tokens, which we refer to collectively as "cookies" in this Policy.

Essential cookies

Required for the platform to work. They enable core functions such as page navigation, secure areas, and load balancing. The platform cannot function properly without them, so they cannot be switched off through our controls.

Authentication cookies

Keep you signed in and recognise you as you move between pages, so you do not have to log in again on every screen.

Session cookies

Temporary cookies that last only for a single browsing session and are removed when you close your browser. They help maintain state as you use the platform.

Preference cookies

Remember choices you make, such as your theme (light or dark mode) and language, so the platform looks and behaves the way you expect.

Analytics cookies

Help us understand how the platform is used — which features are popular and where people run into trouble — so we can improve it. This data is used in aggregate.

Security cookies

Help detect and prevent fraudulent activity, protect your account, and keep the platform safe.

We use cookies to keep you securely signed in, remember your preferences, protect against fraud and abuse, keep the platform reliable, and understand how it is used so we can make it better. Without certain cookies, features such as staying logged in or keeping your theme choice would not work.

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you view the cookies stored, block cookies from specific sites, or clear them entirely.

Browser cookie settings are usually found under Privacy or Security in your browser’s preferences. Refer to your browser’s help pages for step-by-step instructions.

As the platform grows, we plan to introduce a cookie consent experience that lets you choose which non-essential cookies to allow. Until then, essential and authentication cookies are used to provide the core service you have signed up for, and you can manage all cookies through your browser as described above.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. This Policy is version 1.0.0, last updated 24 July 2026.
