Cookie Policy

Last updated: September 2026

01

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are used to remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and provide analytics. This page explains what cookies we use and why.
02

Essential cookies

These are required for the site to function and cannot be disabled:

Session cookies — keep you signed in to your client area. Expire when you close the browser or after 24 hours of inactivity.
CSRF token — prevents cross-site request forgery attacks on forms. Expires with session.
Consent state — remembers your cookie preferences. 12-month lifetime.
03

Analytics cookies (optional)

If you consent, we use privacy-friendly analytics to understand which pages perform well. We use Plausible Analytics which does not set any cookies and does not track individuals across sites. If we ever add cookie-based analytics, you will be asked to consent.
04

Marketing cookies

We do not use marketing or advertising cookies. We do not run retargeting, we do not embed social-media tracking pixels, and we do not sell your browsing behaviour.
05

Third-party embeds

Our knowledge base and blog may embed content from third parties (e.g., YouTube video demos). These embeds may set their own cookies. We use privacy-mode embeds where available.
06

Managing cookies

You can control cookies via your browser settings — most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies. Disabling essential cookies will prevent parts of the site (like the client area) from working.
07

Do Not Track

We respect the Do Not Track (DNT) browser signal — when DNT is enabled, we will not load any optional analytics.
08

Changes

If we add or change cookies, we will update this page and re-prompt for consent where required.
