1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide analytics information, and remember your preferences. Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (stored until they expire or you delete them).
2. Cookies We Use
We categorize our cookies into three types:
2.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the platform to function. They enable authentication, maintain your session, and protect against security threats. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are necessary for the Service to operate.

2.3 Analytics Cookies
We use PostHog, a privacy-first analytics platform, to understand how visitors interact with our website. PostHog is configured to anonymize IP addresses and does not use cross-site tracking. This data helps us improve the Service and user experience.
