2. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies may include browser local storage, session storage, SDKs, pixels, scripts, and security tools. The EDPB treats consent for non-essential cookies as a core requirement under the GDPR/ePrivacy framework.

These remember settings and preferences, such as language, timezone, workspace state, or similar interface choices.

c. Analytics or measurement technologies

If we use analytics, measurement, or similar non-essential cookies, we will request consent where required before placing them.

Some features may load resources or services from third parties, such as CAPTCHA providers, font delivery, payment providers, or embedded integrations.

7. Managing cookies

You can manage cookies through:
