1. Overview
Cookies & similar storage technologies help us:
- Maintain secure sessions & cart state
- Remember preferences (server selection, consent choices)
- Measure performance & detect errors
- Protect accounts & mitigate abuse
We avoid invasive fingerprinting, cross-site tracking beacons or selling user data. Minimal aggregated analytics only.
2. Cookie Categories
Essential
Required for core site operation (session state, cart, security tokens, auth flags). Cannot be disabled.
Functional
Remembers user choices (preferred server, dismissed banners, form persistence).
Performance
Anonymous load timing & resource diagnostics to improve speed and stability.
Analytics
Aggregated visit counts, feature engagement & funnel completion (no cross-site tracking).
Marketing
Internal campaign attribution & optional partner referral tagging. No third-party ad broker pixels.

3. Retention & Expiry
Most essential session values reset when you logout or clear local storage. Preference records persist up to 12 months unless revoked. Security tokens rotate frequently (5–60 min). Performance & analytics aggregates are stored only in summarized, non-identifying form.
You may clear or reset consent at any time using your browser controls or the buttons above.
4. Third-Party Services
We currently rely on limited third-party infrastructure (CDN, font delivery, optional analytics endpoint) which may set strictly necessary technical cookies or receive anonymized usage metrics. We do not embed retargeting networks or social media pixels.
- Font delivery (Google Fonts) – style assets
- CDN edge caching – static resource optimization
- Internal analytics (self-hosted / aggregated)
