1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a site. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and SDKs that help the Service remember preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how features perform.
2. Why we use them
- Keep you signed in and protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF).
- Remember theme, language, or guest browsing preferences.
- Maintain guest carts or temporary session keys where applicable.
- Measure landing-page and product funnel performance so we can improve conversion and reliability.
- Diagnose errors and load times.
3. Types we use
Strictly necessary
Required for core security and functionality (session authentication, CSRF tokens, load balancing). These do not require consent in most jurisdictions because the Service cannot work reliably without them.
Preferences
Remember choices such as light/dark theme or recently selected campus context so you do not have to reconfigure on every visit.
Analytics & performance
Help us understand which pages and flows are used (for example home funnel events). Where required by law, we use these only with appropriate consent or under a permitted exemption for aggregated measurement. Data is used to improve the product, not to sell personal profiles.
Third-party
Some features embed or call third parties — including Google and Apple for Sign in, payment processors, and CDNs. Those parties may set their own cookies or local storage under their policies when you use those features. Authentication with Google/Apple may involve cookies or storage on their domains that we do not control.
4. How to manage cookies
- Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break login, forms, or checkout.
- Use private/incognito windows for temporary browsing without long-lived preference cookies.
- Sign out of your account on shared devices.
- For mobile apps, review OS-level tracking and notification permissions.
5. Updates
We may update this Cookie Use notice when our technologies or legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect the latest revision.
