What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember preferences, keep you signed in, and measure how the service is used. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, and device identifiers.
Categories we use
- Strictly necessary: required for sign-in, session security, and core functionality. These cannot be turned off. Examples: auth session, CSRF token.
- Preferences: remember theme (light/dark), saved filters, and similar settings. Examples: dismissed banners, selected industry.
- Analytics: anonymous usage stats so we can improve the platform. Examples: page-view counters, performance metrics.
- Advertising: Google AdSense and similar networks may set cookies and identifiers (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve and measure ads, including personalised ads based on your prior visits to this and other sites. Examples: __gads, IDE.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break sign-in. To opt out of personalised advertising at the Google level, visit google.com/settings/ads. For other ad networks, visit aboutads.info/choices.
