1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to remember information about your visit — like login state, language preference, or how you arrived at the site. Similar technologies include pixels, local storage entries, and tracking scripts; for simplicity, we refer to all of them as "cookies" in this policy.

3. Consent Mechanism
When you first visit the Service, a cookie banner appears at the bottom of the page with three options: Accept All, Reject Non-Essential, and Customize. Your choice is stored in the cookie-consent entry in your browser's local storage, along with a timestamp and policy version.
You can change your preferences at any time by clearing the cookie-consent entry in your browser's local storage — the banner will reappear on your next visit.
