1. What we use

We use cookies and local storage for security, session continuity, preferences, and (optionally) analytics.

2. Cookie categories

  • Strictly necessary: required for sign-in, security, and core product operation.
  • Analytics: optional measurement cookies/local storage, enabled only after consent.
  • Marketing/partner attribution: optional referral tracking, enabled only after consent.

3. Consent controls

A cookie preference banner is available on first visit. It supports Accept, Reject, and Manage preferences. You can return to the banner and update your preferences at any time by clearing cookie settings and revisiting the site.

Essential cookies remain on. Analytics and partner attribution remain off until you explicitly enable them.

4. Cookies and storage keys currently used

  • ps_cookie_prefs: stores your consent preferences.
  • ps_partner_ref: stores a partner referral code only where partner attribution consent is enabled.
  • Additional local storage keys may be used for product preferences and performance.

5. Third-party technologies

Stripe may set cookies during payment flows for fraud prevention and payment processing. Those cookies are controlled by Stripe under Stripe's own policies.

6. Managing cookies in your browser

You can block or delete cookies via browser controls. If you block necessary cookies, parts of sign-in and account access may stop working correctly.
