1 What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They help the site recognize your device and maintain certain information about your visit (e.g., your logged-in state). Cookies can be:

• Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies: remain until they expire or you delete them.
• First-party cookies: set by the site you're visiting.
• Third-party cookies: set by a different domain.

We may also use local storage or similar technologies to support authentication in a functionally equivalent way.

2 Cookies we use (authentication only)

These cookies are necessary to provide the Services you request (e.g., secure sign-in, account access). Without them, the Services may not function.

Google Cookies (.google.com)

Our website uses cookies set by Google that are primarily related to authentication, security, and web analytics.

• Authentication and Security: These cookies help verify user identity, prevent fraudulent use of login credentials, and protect user data from unauthorized access. They also contribute to maintaining secure sessions while navigating the site.
• Web Analytics and Performance: Certain cookies collect statistical information about how visitors interact with the website. This data allows us and Google to measure usage patterns, detect potential technical issues, and improve overall performance and user experience.

Google may use the information collected to improve its services and to display advertising tailored to the user's profile. For more details, please refer to the Google Privacy Policy .

3 Legal basis

For visitors in the EU/UK, we rely on legitimate interests and/or performance of a contract as the legal basis for strictly necessary cookies that enable the Services you request (e.g., sign-in, security). Consent banners are generally not required for strictly necessary cookies only, but consult your counsel for your specific setup.

4 Managing cookies

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Doing so may impair the functionality of our Services, including the ability to sign in and remain signed in.

• Browser controls: Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies. See your browser's Help section for instructions.
• Do Not Track: Our Services currently do not respond to Do Not Track signals as the industry standard is still evolving; however, we already limit cookies to strictly necessary ones.

5 Data retention

Authentication cookies are stored only as long as necessary to provide the Services (e.g., for the session or the stated persistence period). Server-side logs and security records associated with authentication are retained per our internal security and retention policies. For details, see our Privacy Policy.

6 Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, technical, or operational reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where required, provide additional notice.
