What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, which can make it easier to visit the site again and make the site more useful to you.
We use cookies to analyze website traffic and optimize your website experience. When you accept our use of cookies, your data will be aggregated with all other user data.
Additionally, when you sign in using Google or Microsoft authentication, those services set their own cookies that are necessary for the authentication process to work. These cookies are managed by Google and Microsoft respectively and are essential for secure sign-in functionality. While some of these cookies provide additional convenience features (like remembering which account you selected), they cannot be selectively disabled without affecting the core authentication functionality.
