Types of Cookies We Use
We use different types of cookies for different purposes. Below is a detailed breakdown of each category, including specific examples and how long they remain on your device.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies and storage mechanisms are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as authentication and remembering your preferences. You cannot disable these in our system, but you can block them in your browser (though this will prevent the site from working correctly).

| __clerk_* | Clerk authentication - Manages your login session securely | Session |
| ggwp-cookie-consent (localStorage) | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected cookies | Persistent |
| ggwp-cookie-preferences (localStorage) | Stores your cookie category preferences (analytics, marketing, etc.) | Persistent |
Analytics & Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They are only set if you consent to analytics cookies. All data collected is aggregated and anonymized. This helps us improve our platform by understanding which features are popular and where we can make improvements.

Marketing & Advertising Cookies
We currently do not use marketing or advertising cookies. This category is included for transparency and in case we add such features in the future. If we do, we will update this policy and request your consent before setting any marketing cookies.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| (none currently) | We do not currently use marketing cookies | N/A |
Functional & Preference Cookies
These storage mechanisms remember your UI preferences to provide a better experience. We primarily use localStorage (browser storage) rather than cookies for these preferences, which means the data stays on your device and is not sent to our servers.

|---|---|---|
| sidebar-collapsed (localStorage) | Remembers whether you prefer the sidebar collapsed or expanded | Persistent |
| onboarding-dismissed (localStorage) | Remembers if you dismissed the onboarding checklist | Persistent |
