7. Cookies & Tracking

We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. These are required for the site to function and cannot be disabled.

For website analytics we use Umami, a privacy-focused, self-hosted analytics platform. Umami does not use cookies, does not collect personal information, and does not track users across websites.

We send transactional emails related to your account activity, including:

• Account verification and password reset emails.

These emails are sent through Amazon Web Services Simple Email Service (AWS SES), which processes your email address and message content for the purpose of delivery. AWS SES may temporarily store email metadata (sender, recipient, timestamps) for delivery tracking and abuse prevention. AWS processes this data in accordance with the AWS Privacy Notice.

We do not send marketing or promotional emails. All emails are transactional and directly related to your use of our services.
