What Are Cookies?

This Cookie Notice explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our websites, dashboards, and web apps (the "Service"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They help the website work, remember your preferences, and understand how you use the Service. We also use local storage and similar technologies for the same purposes.

How We Use Cookies

We keep cookies to a minimum. We use:

Strictly Necessary Cookies – required for core functionality such as sign‑in, security, fraud prevention, and load balancing. These cannot be switched off.
Analytics Cookies (optional) – to understand usage and improve performance using Google Analytics 4 (GA4). These run only with your consent and when enabled in your region. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where applicable by turning analytics off by default.

We do not use advertising/retargeting cookies.

Your Choices

Consent banner / settings: On your first visit (and periodically), we show a banner allowing you to accept or manage analytics cookies. You can change your choice anytime via Cookie Settings in the site footer.
Browser controls: You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break core features (e.g., sign‑in).
GPC: If your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat that as an opt‑out of analytics and do not set analytics cookies.

We may also use local storage for the same analytics purposes; values are cleared when you reset your consent or clear site data.

Data Collected via Analytics

When enabled, GA4 may collect pseudonymous identifiers, page URLs/titles, referrer, device/browser type, and approximate geolocation based on IP. We have configured GA4 to: (i) avoid advertising features, (ii) respect consent and GPC, and (iii) retain analytics data for limited periods aligned with our Privacy Policy.

International Use

We host primarily in AWS ap‑south‑1 (Mumbai). Analytics processing locations are determined by Google. Where required, transfers are supported by appropriate safeguards as described in our Privacy Policy.

Changes to this Notice

We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time. Material changes will be signposted via the banner or in‑product notice. The "Effective" date above shows the latest version.
