Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how the site is used. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and session storage for essential functionality.

We use the following categories:

• Strictly necessary: required for authentication, security, session management, and core features (for example keeping you logged in, protecting against cross-site request forgery, and storing your cookie consent preference). These cannot be disabled without breaking the Service.
• Functional: remember choices such as theme preferences or editor settings to improve your experience.
• Analytics: help us understand usage patterns, page performance, and errors so we can improve the product. We use Google Analytics which sets first-party cookies to track user interactions. Analytics data is aggregated where possible.
• Advertising: we may use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other websites on the internet. These cookies allow frequency capping, aggregated ad reporting, and fraud prevention.

We do not use cookies to sell your personal information. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle personal data.

Third-party services used on our site may set their own cookies:

• Google Analytics: tracks page views, session duration, and user interactions. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Google AdSense: uses the DoubleClick cookie to serve interest-based ads. You can manage ad personalization at Google Ads Settings.
• OAuth providers (e.g., Google):if you sign in with a third-party provider, that provider may set its own cookies during the sign-in flow. We do not control third-party cookies; please review the relevant provider's policies.

When you first visit our site, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies (analytics and advertising). Essential cookies are always active as they are required for the Service to function.

Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and site data, then revisiting our site — the consent banner will appear again.

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent you from signing in or using key features.

To clear locally stored builder drafts on your device, use your browser's site data controls or the in-app options where available.

For Google-specific ad opt-outs, visit www.aboutads.info or use the NAI opt-out tool.

Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies and local storage items remain until they expire or you clear them. Authentication session duration is configured for security and convenience. Google advertising cookies typically expire after 24 hours to 2 years, depending on the cookie type.

We may update this Cookie Policy when our practices change. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised.
