3. Third-party cookies
We do not use third-party advertising or social-tracking cookies. The only third-party cookies you may see come from CCAvenue during the brief moment you're on the payment page, and from Google during the OAuth sign-in flow.
4. How to manage cookies
You can block or delete cookies via your browser settings. Blocking the strictly-necessary cookies will sign you out and may break functionality. To opt out of the analytics cookie only, click Cookie settings in the footer (coming soon) or enable your browser's Do-Not-Track header — we honor it.
5. Updates
We'll update this page if our cookie use changes. Material changes will be notified by email to registered users.
