Local storage

We use the browser's localStorage for non-sensitive UI preferences such as sidebar collapse state. No personal data is stored client-side.

Third-party cookies

Stripe sets its own cookies during checkout. Google sets cookies when you sign in with Google OAuth. These are set only when you actively use those features. See Stripe's and Google's own privacy policies for details.

How to control cookies

Strictly-necessary cookies cannot be disabled — without them you cannot sign in. You can clear them anytime in your browser's settings, which will log you out.
