Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience. We also use similar technologies such as localStorage, which stores data directly in your browser.

2. Essential Cookies We Use

We use a limited set of essential cookies that are necessary for the proper functioning of our website:

• Authentication session cookies — used to keep you signed in after logging in with your email/password or Google account via Better-Auth. These cookies are strictly necessary and expire when your session ends or after a set period of inactivity.
• User preference cookies — used to remember your settings and preferences across visits, such as theme or dismissed notices.

3. Local Storage Usage

In addition to cookies, we use your browser's localStorage to enhance your experience:

• Article view tracking — we store a count of blog articles you have viewed in localStorage. This powers our free-article gate, which allows you to read up to 3 articles before requiring you to create an account or sign in. This data never leaves your browser and is not transmitted to our servers.

4. No Third-Party Tracking Cookies

We do not use any third-party tracking cookies. We do not embed advertising trackers, social media pixels, or cross-site tracking technologies. Any analytics we implement will respect your browser's Do Not Track (DNT) preferences.

5. Managing and Disabling Cookies

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of our website, particularly authentication features. Here is how to manage cookies in common browsers:

• Chrome — Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data.
• Firefox — Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.
• Safari — Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data.
• Edge — Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data.

To clear localStorage data, you can use your browser's developer tools (Application > Local Storage) or clear all site data through your browser's privacy settings.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
