Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Please note that blocking all cookies may prevent you from using some features of the Service (including logging in). Instructions for common browsers:
We use Stripe for payment processing. When you access our payment flow, Stripe may set cookies on your device in accordance with Stripe's Cookie Policy. These are used for fraud prevention and are strictly necessary for payment processing.
Some browsers allow you to set a "Do Not Track" signal. We currently honour Do Not Track signals by disabling all non-essential analytics and functional cookies for browsers that send this signal.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Where changes are material, we will display a new consent banner.
