1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how the site is used.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly necessary cookies — required for authentication, session management, and security.
• Preference cookies — remember settings like theme and language.
• Analytics cookies — help us understand how features are used so we can improve reliability.
• Functional cookies — enable enhanced features like remembering the last document you opened.

3. Why We Use Cookies

• Keep you signed in across sessions.
• Remember your preferences (theme, sidebar state, etc.).
• Improve performance and diagnose issues.
• Protect against fraud and abuse.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by trusted third parties we rely on to operate the service, including authentication providers, payment processors, and analytics tools. These parties are bound by their own privacy policies.

5. Your Choices

You can accept or reject non-essential cookies using the banner shown on your first visit. You may also control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in.

6. Managing Your Preferences

To change your choice later, clear your browser storage for this site and the cookie banner will appear again on your next visit.

7. Data Retention

Cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them manually. Session cookies are removed when you close your browser.

Local Storage & Pulse Encryption Keys

In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to keep your Pulse end-to-end encryption private key on your device. This key is never sent to our servers. Clearing site data or switching devices will remove this key and may make older Pulse messages permanently undecryptable.
