Cookie Policy
This policy explains what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them.

1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow websites to recognize your browser, remember preferences, and collect usage data. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, and session tokens — this policy covers all of them.
Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (stored until they expire or you delete them). They can be set by us ("first-party") or by third-party services we use.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for three purposes:
- Essential: necessary for the platform to function. Without these, you cannot log in or use core features. These cannot be disabled.
- Analytics: help us understand how people use AiR so we can improve it. We use anonymized, aggregate data — no individual profiling.
- Preferences: remember your settings, such as theme or language, so you don't have to re-enter them.
We do not use advertising cookies. We do not track you across other websites or sell your data to advertisers.
