What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and improve your experience. This policy explains which cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage them.

Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies (Required)

These cookies are necessary for the Platform to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core features.

• Session cookie (PHPSESSID) — Maintains your login session. Expires when you close your browser. No personal data is stored in the cookie itself; it references a server-side session.
• Age verification cookie — Records that you confirmed you are 18 or older. Prevents repeated prompts.
• Security cookies — Used for rate limiting, CSRF protection, and abuse prevention. These protect your account and the platform from malicious activity.

Functionality Cookies

These cookies remember your preferences to provide a better experience.

• Theme preference — Remembers your display mode (e.g., DiM Mode settings).
• Language preference — Stores your selected language if applicable.
• Notification preferences — Remembers your push notification and sound settings.

Infrastructure Cookies

Our infrastructure providers may set cookies as part of delivering the service to you.

• Cloudflare (__cf_bm, cf_clearance) — Set by our content delivery network for bot detection and DDoS protection. These cookies do not track you across other websites. See Cloudflare’s Cookie Policy.

Cookies We Do NOT Use

• We do not use third-party advertising cookies.
• We do not use analytics tracking cookies (e.g., Google Analytics).
• We do not use social media tracking pixels.
• We do not sell or share cookie data with third parties.
• We do not use cross-site tracking of any kind.

How Long Cookies Last

• Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies (age verification, preferences) remain until you clear them or they expire (typically 30–90 days).
• Cloudflare cookies expire per Cloudflare’s published retention schedule (typically 30 minutes to 24 hours).

Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View which cookies are stored
• Delete individual or all cookies
• Block cookies from specific sites
• Block all third-party cookies

Note: Blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in or using core platform features.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
