Cookie & Tracking Policy

1. What we use

• Essential cookies: authentication/session, load balancing, security.
• Preference cookies: remembering basic settings (e.g., UI preferences).
• Analytics (restricted): anonymised/aggregated service performance insights; no advertising cookies.

2. Why

To keep you signed in securely, deliver core functionality, protect against abuse, and improve reliability.

3. Controls

• Browser controls: block/clear cookies in your browser settings.
• Opt-outs: if analytics is used, we will provide an opt-out or honor DNT where possible.
• Essential cookies are required for sign-in; blocking them may break the service.

4. Retention

Session cookies expire when you close the browser or after a short period. Persistent cookies have limited lifetimes suited to their purpose.

5. Changes

We will update this policy as our use of cookies evolves. If we introduce non-essential cookies that require consent, we will seek it via a banner. Continued use means you accept the updated policy.
