1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

Authentication: We use cookies to identify you when you visit our website and as you navigate our website. When you sign in with Google, Firebase Authentication sets cookies to manage your session.
Preferences: We use cookies to store your preferences, such as your choice of light or dark mode, to enhance your user experience.
Analytics: We may use cookies to help us analyze the use and performance of our website and services. This data is aggregated and anonymous.

3. Cookies We Use

Our site uses the following types of cookies:

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are required for the operation of our Service, such as those that enable you to log into secure areas.
Functionality Cookies: These are used to recognize you when you return to our website and remember your preferences (e.g., theme choice).

Specifically, we rely on Firebase Authentication, which uses cookies to remember your login state. The `next-themes` library also uses local storage (which functions similarly to a cookie) to save your theme preference.

However, if you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this website may become inaccessible or not function properly.
