Cookie Policy

Last updated: October 1, 2026·Transparent cookie usage

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how visitors use the site.

We also use similar technologies like localStorage and sessionStoragefor functionality that doesn't require cookies (e.g., storing chat state).

2. Our Approach to Cookies

We use the minimum number of cookies needed to run a fast, functional, and analytics-driven website. We do not:

  • Sell your data to third parties.
  • Use cookies to build advertising profiles across other sites.
  • Track you when you are not on our website (except via optional marketing pixels).

3. Cookies We Use

We use four categories of cookies. You can manage non-essential cookies through your browser or our cookie banner.

4. Managing Cookies

Through your browser

Most browsers allow you to:

  • View cookies stored on your device.
  • Delete individual cookies or all cookies.
  • Block cookies from specific sites.
  • Block all third-party cookies.

Instructions vary by browser. See your browser's help section for details:

Impact of blocking

Blocking essential cookies may break core functionality (like signing in). Blocking analytics cookies does not affect your experience — it just means we can't improve the site based on your anonymous usage data.

5. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers send “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals. We respect these by default for analytics cookies on our Site. If your browser sends DNT, our analytics tools will not track your visit.

6. Consent

When you first visit our Site, we show a cookie banner with options to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Essential cookies are always on. You can change your preferences at any time via your browser settings.

For users in the EU/UK: this banner complies with GDPR “opt-in” requirements. For users in India: this complies with the DPDP Act consent requirements.

7. Updates to This Policy

We update this Cookie Policy when we add new cookies or change how existing ones are used. The “Last Updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
