Cookie Policy

Last updated: July 2, 2026

Plain-English summary: We use a small number of cookies to make the site work and to understand how visitors use it. We don't use cookies to track you across the internet or to sell your information.

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. They serve many purposes: keeping you logged in, remembering preferences, measuring traffic, or (in some cases) tracking your activity across websites for advertising. This policy explains which cookies we use and why.

2. Cookies We Use

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to function. They cannot be turned off in our systems.

Analytics

_ga, _ga_*	Google Analytics (only if enabled). Anonymous traffic analytics.	2 years	Google

Analytics cookies help us understand which pages are helpful, where visitors get stuck, and how to improve. Data is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors.

Marketing cookies are only set after you voluntarily provide your email address via our signup form. If you never enter your email, no marketing cookies are set.

3. What We Don't Do

We don't use Meta/Facebook Pixel, Google Ads retargeting, or LinkedIn Insight Tag as of the "Last updated" date above.
We don't use cross-context behavioral advertising.
We don't sell your information to data brokers.

If we add advertising or retargeting cookies in the future, we will update this policy and give you a clear opt-out at that time.

4. Managing Cookies

The consent banner at the bottom of the site (on your first visit) lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can revisit that choice at any time by clicking "Manage cookies" in the footer.

You can also block or delete cookies directly in your browser settings. Keep in mind that if you block strictly-necessary cookies, some parts of the site (especially checkout) may not work correctly.

5. Browser-Level Do Not Track

Our analytics providers automatically honor browser-level Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where possible. If you use those settings, our site respects them.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or remove tools. When we do, the "Last updated" date will change. For material changes, we'll show a fresh consent banner asking you to review the new list.
