The Use of Cookies
Type of Cookies We Use
Cookies can be "Persistent" or "Session" Cookies. Persistent Cookies remain on your device when you go offline, while Session Cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.
We use both session and persistent Cookies for the purposes set out below:
Essential Cookies
Type: Session Cookies
Purpose: These Cookies are essential to provide You with services available through the Website and to enable You to use some of its features. They help to authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use of user accounts. Without these Cookies, the services that You have asked for cannot be provided.
Functionality Cookies
Type: Persistent Cookies
Purpose: These Cookies allow us to remember choices You make when You use the Website, such as remembering your login details or language preference. The purpose of these Cookies is to provide You with a more personal experience.
Analytics
We do not use analytics cookies.
Our analytics system is entirely server-side and does not place any cookies on your device. We use a privacy-focused, first-party analytics system that:
- Does not store IP addresses (they are hashed and discarded)
- Does not track users across days (visitor identifiers reset daily)
- Does not use any client-side JavaScript tracking code
- Automatically deletes raw data after 90 days
For more details, see the Usage Data section in our Privacy Policy.
Authentication Cookies
Type: Session and Persistent Cookies
Purpose: These cookies are used to identify you when you log into your account and maintain your session. We use Supabase for authentication, which sets cookies to securely manage your login state.
Third-Party Cookies
Type: Varies
Purpose: Our Website may include embedded content from third parties (such as YouTube videos, social media widgets, or embedded posts). These third parties may set their own cookies. We have no control over these third-party cookies.
Fonts
Type: Self-Hosted Resource
Purpose: Our Website uses custom fonts (Roboto Slab and Poppins) to provide consistent typography. All fonts are self-hosted on our servers.
Data Processing: No data is transmitted to third parties when loading fonts. All font files are served directly from our domain, ensuring your privacy and GDPR compliance.
Privacy: Since fonts are self-hosted, your IP address and browser information are not shared with any external font providers. This provides better privacy protection compared to loading fonts from third-party CDNs.
For more information, please see our Privacy Policy section on fonts.
