We do not currently serve third-party advertising. If this changes, we will update this policy and seek your consent where required.


4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. These third parties may set their own cookies subject to their own privacy policies. Examples include:

  • Payment processors (e.g., Stripe): Used to handle secure payment flows.
  • Analytics providers: Used to collect aggregated usage statistics.
  • Customer support tools: Used to power live chat or help desk functionality.

We do not control these third-party cookies. Please refer to the relevant third party's privacy and cookie policies for more information.


When you first visit the Platform, you will be shown a cookie consent banner where you can accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the Cookie Settings link in the Platform footer.

5.2 Browser Settings

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view and delete cookies, block cookies from specific websites, or block all cookies entirely. Note that blocking all cookies will likely affect the functionality of the Platform.

Guidance on managing cookies is available for common browsers at their respective support pages:

5.3 Opt-Out Tools

For analytics tools that support it, you may opt out of tracking directly via the provider. For example, some analytics tools respect the browser "Do Not Track" signal.


6. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Our Platform currently does not respond differently to DNT signals, though we aim to respect user preferences through our consent management system.

  • You may be logged out or unable to log in.
