Cookies Policy

Effective Date: 2026-10-08

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the site owners.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use essential session storage and functional preferences to operate the service. Our public pages do not load advertising or behavioral analytics. Optional checkout, calls and external connections may load their providers only when you use those features; their own policies apply.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Authentication cookies managed through Supabase keep your session and protect signed-in access. Locale preferences may use a cookie. Theme preferences, recovery drafts, local manuscript files and frozen publication ZIPs use browser storage such as localStorage or IndexedDB rather than all being cookies. These local copies can be removed by browser cleanup. We do not currently add advertising cookies or public-page analytics cookies.

4. Third-Party Cookies

When enabled and chosen, Paddle checkout or a billing portal and 8x8/JaaS calls may set their own cookies or browser storage. Supabase authentication also requires session cookies. Essential processing is necessary to perform the requested feature; this policy is not blanket consent to unrelated tracking. Follow the provider’s controls and policy for any optional storage it offers.

5. Managing Cookies

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to: • View what cookies are stored on your device. • Delete individual or all cookies. • Block cookies from specific or all websites. • Set preferences for first-party and third-party cookies. Please note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using the Service.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date.
