1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site running, remember your preferences, and—only if you consent—to understand how the site is used and improve your experience.
2. Cookie Categories
We organize cookies into three categories:
2.1 Necessary Cookies (Always Active)
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They cannot be disabled.

3. How We Record Your Consent
When you make a cookie choice (accept all, reject non-essential, or customize), we:
- Store your preferences in the
cookie_consentcookie (180 days) - Log your consent choice to our database for compliance auditing, including:
- Timestamp of your choice
- Consent banner version
- Your general region (EU/US/APAC)

4. Managing Your Preferences

- Preferences Page: Visit Cookie Preferences anytime
- Browser Settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Note that blocking necessary cookies may break site functionality.
5. Regional Differences
European Union & United Kingdom
Under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, we obtain your consent before setting any non-essential cookies. Analytics and marketing cookies are disabled by default until you opt in.
United States (California & Other States)
Under CCPA/CPRA, you have the right to opt out of "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. While we do not sell data, analytics cookies may constitute "sharing" under some interpretations. You can opt out via our cookie banner orDo Not Sell/Share page.
Other Regions
We apply the same consent-based approach globally. Non-essential cookies are disabled by default regardless of your location.
6. Third-Party Services
Our third-party service providers may set their own cookies. We work with providers that have appropriate data processing agreements in place:
- Supabase - Authentication (necessary)
- Stripe - Payment processing (necessary)
- Vercel - Hosting, Analytics, Speed Insights (analytics, consent-based)
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. While there is no universal standard for DNT, we respect your cookie preferences as set in our banner regardless of DNT status.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced on the site, and we may update the consent banner version, prompting you to review your choices. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance.
