1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve performance, and provide information to website owners. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage — we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies" in this policy.
2. What Cookies Do We Use?
We use the following categories of cookies:

Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website and app. The information is aggregated and anonymous. We use this to improve our services.
| Cookie / Technology | Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Firebase Analytics | Collects anonymised usage data including app events, session duration, and device information to help us understand and improve the app. Data is not used for advertising. | |

3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these cookies. The relevant third-party privacy policies are:
