2. How We Use Cookies
Essential Cookies
Required for platform operation: session tokens, CSRF tokens, authentication state, and security flags. These cannot be disabled.
Functional Cookies
Remember preferences: theme selection, language, sidebar state, and recent searches.
Analytics Cookies
Aggregated usage data to improve platform performance. Anonymized — no personal data collected.
Security Cookies
Fraud detection, rate limiting, device fingerprinting, and anomaly detection. Used exclusively for platform protection.
3. Cookie Duration
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for up to 12 months unless cleared. You can delete all stored cookies through browser settings at any time.
4. Third-Party Cookies
We use minimal third-party cookies: Cloudflare (security), and platform analytics. No advertising or tracking cookies are deployed.
5. Your Choices
Essential cookies are mandatory for platform access. Functional and analytics preferences can be managed through your account settings. Browser settings allow full cookie control but may impact platform functionality.
6. Updates
This policy may be updated. Material changes notified via email or platform notice. Continued use after update constitutes acceptance.
