What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how the site is being used.
Cookies we use
Necessary cookies
Required for the platform to function. These include session cookies that keep you logged in, CSRF protection cookies, and cookies that store your post-login redirect. You cannot opt out of these without preventing the site from working.
Functional cookies
Remember your preferences such as your selected filters, display settings, and notification preferences. These improve your experience but the platform will still work without them.
Analytics cookies
Help us understand how users interact with the platform so we can improve it. We use Google Analytics 4, which anonymises IP addresses and does not track you across other websites without your consent. You can opt out via your cookie preferences.
Marketing cookies
Used only on the public marketing website (not the application) to understand which channels drive sign-ups. These enable Google Ads conversion tracking. You can opt out via your cookie preferences.
