What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on
your device when you visit them. They're pretty
common – most sites use them in some capacity.
Think of them as digital sticky notes that help
websites remember things about your visit.
When you come back to our site, these files help us
recognize your browser and remember your
preferences. Some cookies stick around for just one
session (those disappear when you close your
browser), while others hang out on your device for
longer periods.
We also use similar technologies like web beacons
and pixels. These are tiny, invisible images
embedded in our pages that help us understand how
people interact with our content. They work
alongside cookies to give us a fuller picture of
site performance.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site running properly. Without
them, you wouldn't be able to navigate
between pages or access secure areas. They're
the foundation that makes everything else
work.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices – things like
language preferences or your username. They
make your experience more personalized and
save you from having to reset preferences
every time you visit.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to see which pages get the most
traffic and how people move through our site.
The data helps us figure out what's working
and what needs improvement. All information
collected is aggregated and anonymous.
Performance Cookies
These track loading times and technical
performance. When pages load slowly or errors
pop up, these cookies help us identify and
fix the problem quickly.
Note about third-party cookies:
Some cookies on our site come from external
services we use – like analytics platforms or
content delivery networks. These services have
their own privacy policies, which we encourage
you to review if you're interested in the
details.
How Tracking Improves Your Experience
Here's what these technologies actually do for you
on our site:
- Keep you logged in as you move between
different sections of the site
- Remember your project preferences and workflow
settings so you don't have to reconfigure them each
visit
- Load pages faster by storing certain elements
locally on your device
- Help us understand which features you use most
so we can prioritize improvements
- Prevent duplicate form submissions that could
create confusion in your project data
- Enable us to show you relevant content based on
your previous interactions
- Alert us to technical issues before they become
widespread problems
For example, if you're in the middle of setting up
a project workflow and navigate away from the page,
functional cookies help us save your progress. Or
when we notice through analytics that a particular
planning tool isn't getting used much, we can
investigate whether it needs better placement or
clearer instructions.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're in control of how cookies work on your
device. Most browsers let you view, manage, and
delete cookies through their settings. Keep in mind
that blocking essential cookies might affect how
well the site functions.
Here's where to find cookie settings in popular
browsers:
Chrome
Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and
other site data
Firefox
Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and
Site Data
Safari
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Edge
Settings → Cookies and site permissions →
Manage and delete cookies
If you use multiple devices or browsers, you'll
need to adjust settings on each one separately.
And remember – clearing cookies means you'll
lose saved preferences and might need to log in
again to services you use regularly.
Your Rights and Choices
Beyond browser controls, you have several options
for managing tracking:
- Opt out of analytics tracking while still using
all site features
- Request a copy of the data we've collected
through cookies
- Ask us to delete cookie-related data associated
with your browsing
- Use private or incognito browsing modes that
don't store cookies long-term
- Install browser extensions that give you more
granular control over tracking
We respect your privacy choices. If you decide to
limit cookie usage, we won't use that decision
against you or restrict access to our services –
though some features might not work as smoothly.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes, and so do our practices. We
update this policy periodically to reflect new
tracking methods we implement or changes in privacy
regulations. When we make significant updates,
we'll post a notice on our site.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page
shows when we most recently revised the policy. We
recommend checking back occasionally if you're
interested in staying current with our practices.
