Cookie Policy

Last Updated: December 19, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and browser storage technologies are, how we use them on our website, and how you can control them.

1. What Are Cookies and Browser Storage?

1.1 Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They help websites remember your preferences and provide functionality.

1.2 Browser Storage (localStorage and sessionStorage)

localStorage and sessionStorage are HTML5 technologies that allow websites to store data directly in your browser:

  • localStorage: Data persists until manually deleted
  • sessionStorage: Data is cleared when the browser tab is closed

Important: We primarily use browser storage (localStorage/sessionStorage) rather than traditional cookies for most features.
