Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites and web apps store on your device when you visit. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you signed in, measure usage, and deliver relevant content and advertising. We also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and web beacons for the same purposes.

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Keep the site working: authentication, security, session state, and your privacy consent choice.
• Remember preferences: theme selection (light/dark), language, and other UI settings.
• Understand usage: anonymised analytics about which pages and features are used so we can improve performance and fix issues.
• Serve advertising: Google AdSense and third-party vendors use cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to show ads based on your interests and to measure ad performance.

3. Types of cookies we use

• Essential cookies: Required for the site to function. These cannot be disabled without breaking core features such as sign-in and security.
• Preference cookies: Remember choices you make, such as your light/dark theme setting.
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the site. These are generally pseudonymous.
• Advertising cookies: Used by Google AdSense and partner networks to deliver and measure personalised ads.

4. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services we use, including:

• Google AdSense: serves ads and may use cookies to personalise advertising.
• Google Analytics: measures site usage when enabled.
• Supabase: authentication and session management.

These providers have their own cookie and privacy policies. We encourage you to review them.

5. Managing your cookie preferences

You can control cookies in several ways:

• Use the cookie banner that appears when you first visit the site to accept or reject non-essential cookies.
• Change your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Most browsers provide a “Do Not Track” option and cookie management controls in their settings.
• Opt out of personalised ads from Google at Google Ad Settings.
• Opt out of third-party vendor cookies at About Ads or Your Online Choices (EU).

Please note that disabling some cookies may affect site functionality or the relevance of ads shown.

6. Cookie storage duration

• Session cookies: expire when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies: remain on your device for a set period (for example, to keep you signed in or remember your theme) until they expire or you delete them.

7. EU user consent

For visitors in the European Economic Area, UK, and Switzerland, we present a consent notice before non-essential cookies are set. We do our best to meet the requirements of the EU user consent policy and applicable data-protection laws. You can update your consent choice at any time by clearing the site cookies or using the cookie banner when it appears.

8. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as we add new features or as applicable laws change. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows when the policy was last revised. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
