1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and understand how you interact with the site. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and session storage (collectively referred to as "cookies" in this policy).
2. How We Use Cookies
We use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies:
2.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They include:
- Authentication: Keep you signed in to your account and maintain your session
- Security: Prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks and other security threats
- Infrastructure protection: DDoS mitigation and bot detection by our security and CDN provider
- Payment fraud prevention: Our payment processor uses cookies to detect and prevent fraudulent transactions when you use donation forms
2.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation:
- Language preferences: Remember your language and locale settings
- Display preferences: Remember your UI preferences (such as theme settings)

Analytics tracking is only used on our public websites. It is not used on internal administration tools or documentation sites.

- Campaign attribution: UTM parameters track which marketing channels brought you to our site
- Referral tracking: Identify the website or link that referred you
We do not use third-party advertising cookies or participate in cross-site behavioural advertising networks.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. These fall into the following categories:
| Category | Purpose | Type |
|---|---|---|

| Website analytics | Aggregated usage analysis to improve our services | Analytics |
| Security and CDN | DDoS protection, bot detection, and content delivery optimisation | Essential |

Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy. We select providers that meet our security and privacy standards.
4. Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View what cookies are stored and delete them individually
- Block third-party cookies
- Block cookies from specific sites
- Block all cookies
- Delete all cookies when you close your browser
Please note that blocking essential cookies may prevent you from using certain features of our platform, including signing in to your account and making donations.
To opt out of analytics cookies specifically, you can use your browser's built-in tracking prevention features or install a browser extension that blocks analytics scripts.
5. Local Storage and Session Storage
In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage and session storage to:
- Store authentication tokens for secure API access
- Cache user preferences and application settings
- Maintain application state during your session
Local storage data persists until explicitly cleared through your browser settings or by signing out of your account. Session storage data is automatically cleared when you close your browser tab.
6. Do Not Track
We respect Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals. When DNT is enabled, we limit our use of analytics cookies and do not track your activity across other websites.
