3.Cookie categories
- Strictly necessary: needed for sign-in, security and basic operation. They do not need consent and cannot be switched off in the Service.
- Functionality: remember choices such as display settings.
- Performance and analytics: help us understand how the Service is used so we can improve it. We do not currently use these. If we add them, we will ask for your consent first where the law requires it.
- Advertising: we do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
4.Third-party cookies
When you click a checkout button you are taken to a Stripe-hosted page. Stripe sets its own cookies there to process payments and prevent fraud, under Stripe's privacy policy. Links to social networks open on their own sites, which have their own cookie practices. Embedded fonts and media on the Service are served from our own domain.
5.Your consent
Where the law requires consent (for example in the UK and EEA for non-essential cookies), we will show a prompt and only set those cookies if you agree. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser data and answering the prompt again. We do not set non-essential cookies before you agree.
6.Managing cookies
- Browser settings: most browsers let you view, block and delete cookies and site data under “Settings” or “Privacy”.
- Private browsing: clears cookies when you close the window.
- Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control: we do not track you across other sites, so we treat these signals as already honoured.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop sign-in from working. Blocking local storage only resets your theme choice.
7.Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our use of cookies changes. The “Last updated” date shows the latest version, and we will give notice of material changes.
