Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website or use an application. They help us operate the Service, remember your preferences, understand how the Service is used, and improve security.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies:

• Essential cookies: required for the Service to function, including authentication, session management, security tokens and fraud-prevention checks. These cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality.
• Functional cookies: remember your preferences and settings (for example, dark mode, sidebar state, or language choices) so you do not have to re-enter them each visit.
• Analytics cookies: help us understand how visitors interact with the Service, which features are used, and how we can improve performance. These are generally aggregated and do not directly identify you.
• Marketing cookies: used to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and to deliver relevant communications. We only set these where you have provided consent.

3. Cookies Set by Third Parties

Some parts of the Service rely on trusted third-party providers that may set their own cookies or similar identifiers. These include:

• Stripe: payment processing and fraud prevention. See Stripe's Cookie Policy.
• Supabase / Lovable Cloud: authentication, database sessions and realtime infrastructure.
• Analytics providers: where used, to collect aggregated usage data.

We do not permit third parties to use cookies for behavioural advertising tracking across unrelated websites without your consent.

4. Consent & Management

When you first visit our marketing site, you will be given the opportunity to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Essential cookies are always active because they are required for the Service to work.

You can manage or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie banner or by adjusting your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, block, or disable cookies. Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent you from logging in or using core features.

5. Local Storage & Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use browser local storage, session storage, and other similar technologies to store preferences, session tokens, and application state. These serve the same purposes as cookies and are managed by your browser settings.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be notified via email or through the Service.
