#WHAT-ARE-COOKIES

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files containing alphanumeric strings that are downloaded and stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website.

They allow the server to recognize your browser, persist session states, and track user actions across pages. Cookies can be 'first-party' (set by us) or 'third-party' (set by authorized external services).

We also utilize related tracking technologies, such as web beacons, pixels, and scripts, to collect network telemetry data.

#HOW-WE-USE

2. How We Use Cookies

Cookies play an essential role in keeping our website secure, functional, and user-friendly. We use them for:

Maintaining Session Security: Verifying authorization tokens and preventing cross-site request forgery attacks.

Analytics & Performance: Measuring how visitors navigate our pages to isolate layout bugs and speed up load times.

Preference Storage: Remembering selections such as theme parameters or layout configurations on return visits.

#COOKIE-CATEGORIES

3. Categories of Cookies We Place

The cookies dropped by our servers are classified into three primary categories:

Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the core security and structure of the website. These cannot be disabled as the site cannot function securely without them. They are primarily used for cross-site security validation and session state management.

Performance & Analytics Cookies: These collect aggregated, anonymous network metrics. They tell us which pages are loaded most frequently, how visitors move between sections, and whether error screens are triggered. We use this data strictly to improve code performance.

Functional Cookies: Used to provide enhanced features and customization, such as remembering your form details or language selections.

#THIRD-PARTY

4. Third-Party Tracking Technologies

In addition to our first-party cookies, we integrate code from trusted external platforms to monitor web metrics. These partners place their own cookies and tracking scripts:

Analytics Providers: We use Google Analytics to collect telemetry regarding site usage. The data is processed anonymously by Google, and we do not connect it to any personal identification profiles.

Hosting Infrastructure: Vercel uses performance tracking cookies to optimize content distribution across their CDN edges.
