Cookie Policy
Effective Date: April 10, 2026 — Last Updated: April 10, 2026
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to website operators. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by a different domain than the one you are visiting).
In addition to cookies, we also use localStorage — a web browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not sent to the server with each request and has no expiration date (it persists until manually cleared).
