Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 2026 — Compliant with EU GDPR & ePrivacy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site operator.

2. Our Approach

Because we only use strictly necessary cookies, no cookie consent banner is legally required under the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR. You are, however, always in control (see Section 5).

3. Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are essential for the platform to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in.

• Session / authentication cookie — keeps you securely signed in to your account. Without it, you would have to log in on every page. Expires when your session ends or after the session lifetime.
• Security cookie — used to protect the authentication flow (e.g. protecting the sign-in process). Short-lived.

4. Local Storage

In addition to cookies, we use your browser's local storage to hold your authentication token so the app can keep you signed in reliably across Replit's secure proxy. This is a strictly necessary function and stores only what is needed to maintain your session. It contains no advertising or tracking data.

5. Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• See what cookies are stored and delete them individually.
• Block third-party cookies.
• Block all cookies from being set.
• Delete all cookies when you close your browser.

Please note: if you block or delete our strictly necessary cookies, you will not be able to stay signed in and parts of the platform will not work.

6. Third-Party Services

When you make a payment, our payment processor Stripe may set its own cookies to process the transaction securely and prevent fraud. These are governed by Stripe's own cookie and privacy policies: https://stripe.com/privacy.

7. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology or law. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
