Cookie Policy

What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you browse the site. They let the site remember information about your visit - such as your authentication state or your preferences. Alongside cookies, we also use browser localStorage for similar purposes.
Legal basis and consent
Cookies are used in accordance with the Privacy Protection Law, 5741-1981 (including Amendment No. 13), and subject to our Privacy Policy.
Essential cookies are required to operate the Service and are always active - without them you cannot sign in to your account or perform secured actions. We do not use them for tracking or advertising.
Non-essential cookies (currently: Google Analytics only) operate by default, and a notice about this appears on your first visit. If you choose "Necessary cookies only" or "No cookies at all", the analytics tool is not loaded in your browser and no data is sent to it.
Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage (localStorage, key cookie-consent) - not on our server and not in a cookie. If we ever add a new analytics or advertising provider, we will update this document and the Privacy Policy.
Changing or withdrawing your consent
You can change your choice at any time in the control in our Privacy Policy: all cookies (default), necessary cookies only, or no cookies at all. The "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page leads there. A restrictive choice made after the analytics tool has loaded reloads the page, to make sure it actually stops running, and not only on paper.
Clearing site data in your browser also clears the record of your choice and restores the default.
Which cookies we use
| Type | Purpose | Duration | Essential? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Authentication (Session) | Keeps you logged in to your account so you don't have to re-authenticate on every page. | Session | Yes - essential |
| Security cookies | Protection against request forgery (CSRF) and preserving the integrity of actions in the Service. | Session | Yes - essential |
| Theme preference | Remembers your choice between light and dark mode (stored in localStorage). | Persistent | No - preference |
| Affiliate tracking identifiers | Attributing clicks and conversions to the referring affiliate, to calculate commissions. Part of the tracking is done server-side (Server-to-Server) and does not rely on browser cookies. | Session / Persistent | Yes - essential to function |
| Cookie choice record | Remembers your cookie choice so we can honour it (stored in localStorage). | Until you clear site data | Yes - essential |
| Google Analytics | Aggregate usage analytics - which pages are viewed and how visitors navigate - to improve the Service. On by default, can be turned off. | Persistent | No - analytics, can be turned off |
A Session cookie is deleted when the browser closes; a persistent cookie is kept for a defined period or until you delete it manually.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are managed by third-party services we use - Google Analytics (analytics, unless you opted out) and Google (sign-in with a Google account, only if you chose that sign-in method). These services have their own privacy policies governing how they use information.
The simplest way to prevent collection by Google Analytics is to choose "Necessary cookies only" in the control in our Privacy Policy. In addition, if you want to block the tool across every site you browse, an official browser add-on is available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
"Do Not Track" signal
Some browsers let you send a Do-Not-Track (DNT) signal. There is currently no uniform, agreed standard for how to handle this signal, and so we do not currently change the site's behavior in response to it. You can manage cookies directly through your browser at any time.
How to manage and delete cookies
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking essential cookies may impair the operation of the Service - for example, you will not be able to stay logged in to your account. Information on managing cookies is available in the help pages of the browser you use.
