Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and improve your experience.

2. Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These are required for the Platform to function and cannot be disabled.

• Session cookie — maintains your logged-in state (Google OAuth session)
• CSRF token — protects against cross-site request forgery

Functional Cookies

These remember your preferences to improve your experience.

• Timezone preference — stores your local timezone for accurate session time display
• UI preferences — theme settings and layout choices

Analytics Cookies (optional)

We may use privacy-friendly analytics (such as Vercel Analytics) to understand how visitors use the Platform. These do not track individual users across sites.

• Page views and navigation patterns — aggregated, anonymized data
• Performance metrics — page load times and error rates

3. Third-Party Cookies

Our payment providers (PayFast, PayPal) may set their own cookies during the checkout process. These are governed by their respective privacy policies:

• PayFast Privacy Policy
• PayPal Privacy Policy

Zoom may also set cookies when you join a session via the browser. See Zoom's Privacy Policy.

4. Managing Cookies

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

• View which cookies are stored
• Delete individual or all cookies
• Block cookies from specific or all sites
• Set preferences for first-party vs third-party cookies

Disabling essential cookies may prevent parts of the Platform from working correctly (e.g., you may not be able to stay logged in).

5. Do Not Track

We respect "Do Not Track" browser signals. When detected, we disable optional analytics cookies.

6. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy as our technology evolves. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
