Cookies are small text files that get saved on your device when you visit websites. They're essentially tiny notes that help sites remember things about you between visits. Sometimes they remember your preferences, other times they help us understand how people use our site.

These files don't harm your computer. They can't run programs or carry viruses. Most of what they do is pretty mundane — like remembering you prefer dark mode or that you've already seen a particular notification.

Here's what actually happens with the information we collect. We're not doing anything mysterious with it — mostly it helps us run a better website and understand what content matters to you.

Some cookies on our site come from external services we use. For example, if we embed analytics tools or use external hosting for certain features, those services might set their own cookies.

We try to minimize third-party tracking, but some external tools are necessary for site functionality. Each service has its own privacy policy that governs how they handle data. We choose partners carefully, but you should know that your information might be processed by these external services according to their own terms.

Technology changes. Regulations evolve. Sometimes we add new features or retire old ones. When that happens, we'll update this policy to reflect the current state of things.

We'll update the date at the top whenever we make changes. For significant updates, we might notify users directly. But it's a good idea to check back occasionally if you're concerned about how we handle cookies.
