1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them whenever you come back or browse from one page to another.

Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the Website to function. They enable core functionality such as security, authentication, and session management. You cannot opt out of essential cookies, as the Website will not work properly without them.
Analytics Cookies
We use privacy-focused analytics to understand how visitors use the Website. Our analytics solution does not use cookies for tracking individual users across websites, does not collect personal data, and is fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR without requiring cookie consent.
3. Third-Party Cookies
We may use the following third-party services that set their own cookies:
- Stripe — for secure payment processing. Stripe may set cookies to detect fraud and process payments. See Stripe's Privacy Policy.
- Google Places API — for address autocomplete functionality. Google may collect usage data. See Google's Privacy Policy.
4. How to Manage Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these settings in the "Options" or "Preferences" menu of your browser. You can:
- View what cookies are stored on your device and delete them individually.
- Block third-party cookies.
- Block all cookies from specific sites.

- Delete all cookies when you close your browser.
Please note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using the Service.
5. Do Not Track
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature. Our analytics solution respects DNT signals by default, as it does not track individual users across websites.
6. Data Retention
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Analytics data is retained in aggregated, non-identifiable form. We do not retain individual browsing histories.
