Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the Site work, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use our pages.

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Keep you signed in and protect your account
• Remember preferences and improve performance
• Measure traffic and how people use the Site (analytics)
• Support safety, fraud prevention, and abuse reporting
• Show advertising on the Site, if enabled (including personalized ads where allowed)

3. Types of cookies we may use

Strictly necessary: Required for core features such as login, security, and saving your session. The Site may not work properly without them.

Functional: Remember choices you make (for example, dismissing notices or interface preferences).

Analytics: Help us understand visits, popular pages, and errors. We use Google Analytics on the Site.

Advertising: If we display ads (for example through Google AdSense), advertising partners may set cookies to show, limit, and measure ads. Those partners have their own policies.

4. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are placed by services we use, such as:

• Google Analytics — usage measurement. See Google’s Privacy Policy.
• Google advertising — if ads are enabled. See How Google uses data from sites or apps that use our services and manage ad personalization at Google Ad Settings.

5. Your choices

You can control cookies through your browser settings (block, delete, or limit cookies). Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect login and other features.

Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies (for example analytics or advertising).

6. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The effective date at the top will change when we do.
