Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how our website uses cookies and related technologies to run the service, understand usage, and improve your experience. Cookies are small data files placed on your device to remember settings and help basic features work. To make examples easier to follow, we sometimes reference internal cohort labels like chicken road, which are simply placeholders used during testing. A later set of examples may reference chicken road 2 to show how settings or retention periods can differ between groups. None of these labels identify you personally, and they do not change the legal effect of the information below. Please read this policy carefully to understand what data is collected, why it is collected, and the choices you have.

The purpose of this Cookie Policy is transparency. It tells you what categories of cookies we use, how long they last, and who sets them. It also explains how you can adjust settings in your browser or on our site, and what happens if you disable certain features. Where partners provide analytics or measurement, we describe that relationship in plain terms so you can make informed choices. References such as chicken road in our examples are not brands or promotions, just neutral tags that help us explain scenarios.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device so it can recognize your browser later. Some cookies are session-based and disappear when you close the browser, while others are persistent and remain for a defined period. They can be set directly by us (first-party) or by service providers that help with analytics, media, or security (third-party). Similar technologies like local storage or pixels may serve comparable purposes, and we treat them as cookies for simplicity. When we describe scenarios using labels like chicken road 2, we are only naming an example group to illustrate how certain settings might vary. The underlying behavior of the cookie technology remains the same regardless of the label.

How and why cookies are used

We use cookies to keep the site secure, remember preferences, and understand how features are used. Without them, account login, language choices, and essential navigation may not function as expected. Analytics cookies help us see which pages are helpful, which errors occur, and where we can improve. Measurement tools inform us about the effectiveness of our communications in a privacy-respecting way. On occasion we run experiments to compare interfaces, and internal labels such as chicken road can mark the groups in those tests. The aim is to improve reliability and usability while minimizing the amount of data collected.

  • Essential cookies: enable core functions like page loading, authentication, and fraud control.

  • Preference cookies: remember language, region, and accessibility settings.

  • Analytics cookies: aggregate usage to help us fix bugs and plan improvements.

  • Measurement cookies: assess the reach of content without directly identifying you.

  • Security cookies: detect abuse, prevent spam, and protect forms.

Where possible, we configure cookies to expire sooner and to store less data. We also rotate identifiers and restrict access so that only the functions that need them can read them. If a browser or device blocks third-party cookies, key features should still work, though some measurements may be less precise. We do not sell personal information through cookies, and we design our settings page to be understandable. Example group names like chicken road 2 belong to documentation and testing only, and they never appear in your public profile. You can revisit this policy anytime to see updates on retention periods and providers.

Your Rights

Your browser gives you meaningful control over cookies, and you can change those settings at any time. Many browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, clear local storage, and send a “Do Not Track” signal. Our site also offers in-product controls where feasible, so you can opt out of non-essential categories. Depending on your location, you may have legal rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of personal data collected via cookies. Exercising these rights should not degrade essential functionality, though optional features may be limited. If you encounter examples labeled chicken road in help content, they are simply illustrations of how controls work.

  1. Open your browser settings and review the privacy or cookies section.

  2. Adjust cookie permissions, clear data, or set site-specific rules for our domain.

  3. If offered on our site, use the cookie banner or settings page to update your preferences.

  4. For analytics or measurement opt-outs, follow the instructions provided within those controls.

  5. If you still need help, contact us and describe the device, browser, and settings you used.

When you change settings, the effect may not be immediate on cookies already stored, so clearing existing data can help. We review consent choices periodically and respect the most recent selection you made through our tools. If you submit a data request, we will authenticate the request to protect you from unauthorized access. You may also withdraw consent at any time for non-essential cookies without losing the ability to view core pages. References to chicken road 2 or, in older notes, chicken road, are internal naming conventions and have no impact on your rights. Keep a record of your changes if you need to track how a particular setting behaved across devices.

Effective Date

This Cookie Policy takes effect on December 8, 2025, and replaces prior versions published on our site. We update the document when we introduce new features, change providers, or adjust retention periods. When revisions are material, we will highlight them within the policy or in product notices so you can review them promptly. Archived versions may summarize previous settings or cohort labels, including references such as chicken road, to preserve context. Future drafts may also refresh example names like chicken road 2 without altering your rights or choices. Please check this page periodically for the latest information on how cookies are used.
