Cookie Policy

1. Essential / authentication storage

To keep you signed in, the application stores your session token in your browser (local storage, and cookies set by the authentication service). Without it you would be logged out on every page load, so this storage is strictly necessary and cannot be switched off while you use an account.

• Purpose: sign-in session, session refresh and password-reset links.
• Set by: the authentication service used by the app.
• Duration: until you sign out, delete your account, or the session expires.

2. Preference storage

• Your interface language choice, stored locally so the app opens in the right language.
• Duration: until you clear your browser storage.

3. Security and delivery

The hosting and authentication providers may set short-lived technical cookies needed to route requests and protect against abuse. These are strictly necessary and are not used to profile you.

4. Google Sign-In

If you choose to sign in with Google, Google sets its own cookies on its domain during the sign-in flow, under Google’s own policies. This only happens if you use that option.

5. Payment checkout (Paddle)

If you purchase a paid plan, our payment provider Paddle sets its own strictly necessary cookies during checkout to process the payment securely and prevent fraud. These apply only while you use the checkout and are governed by Paddle's own policies. No payment cookies are set if you never open the checkout.

6. Analytics cookies

None. The application has no analytics or product-tracking tool configured.

7. Marketing cookies

None. There are no advertising pixels, retargeting tags or third-party marketing trackers.

8. Consent

Because only strictly necessary storage and your own preference setting are used, no cookie consent banner is required and none is shown. We will not add a banner for appearances. If analytics or marketing cookies are ever introduced, we will request consent before they are set and update this page first.

9. Managing cookies

• All modern browsers let you view, block and delete cookies and local storage in their privacy settings.
• Clearing storage for this site signs you out and resets your language preference.
• Blocking essential storage entirely will prevent sign-in from working.
• Signing out from Settings clears your session on this device.
