We use the good kind of cookies. No oatmeal raisin, promise.
🍪What's the Deal with Cookies?

We only use cookies that make the site work.

No creepy tracking across the web.
You Control Them

What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. Think of them like tiny digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about you - like your login status or theme preference. They're not actual cookies, so sadly you can't eat them.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the boring but necessary stuff that makes our platform work better:
🗂️Types of Cookies We Use
🚨Essential Cookies (Can't Turn These Off)
These are the cookies that make the website actually work. Without them, nothing functions:
📊Analytics Cookies (Privacy-Focused)
Our analytics system doesn't track you across websites and anonymizes all data. It's more like counting how many people visited a store than following them home.
⚙️Functional Cookies
These make your experience better by remembering your preferences:
Third-Party Services
We work with a few trusted partners who might set their own cookies:
Stripe (Payment Processing)
Handles our payments securely and may set cookies for fraud prevention. They're the good guys.
Brevo (Email Service)
Sends our emails and may track if you opened them (so we know if our emails suck).
NextAuth.js (Authentication)
Manages your login sessions with secure cookies. It's open source and privacy-focused.
