We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the service, maintain authentication sessions, remember basic preferences, measure usage, and support Google advertising on supported-region public pages.

We use authentication cookies from Clerk, checkout and billing-related data through Stripe, and limited analytics tooling to understand site usage. If Google ads are enabled on a supported-region public page, Google may also use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies to deliver and measure ads.

Paid members receive an ad-free experience, which means we do not intentionally load Google ad units for their sessions. You can still control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling essential cookies may limit site functionality.
