Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences, enhance your experience, and provide insights into how you use our platform.
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Essential cookies cannot be disabled.
These cookies collect information about how you use our website, such as which pages you visit and how long you spend on them. This data helps us improve website performance and user experience.
These cookies enable personalized features and remember your preferences, such as your equipment setup and location preferences. Authentication session storage is classified as Essential (above) because it is necessary for the service you requested — without it you cannot stay logged in.
We use analytics tools to understand user behavior and improve our services. This includes anonymous usage statistics and feature adoption metrics.
With your explicit permission, we load HubSpot analytics cookies to understand how the app is used and to measure engagement. Analytics are off by default and only load after you opt in — either via the cookie banner on first visit or the toggle in your profile settings. You can withdraw consent at any time, which removes HubSpot scripts and clears its cookies from your device.
These cookies are not used for advertising or cross-site tracking. We do not link the data collected with third-party data for advertising purposes, we do not share it with data brokers, and we do not track you across other apps or websites. HubSpot is used for first-party product analytics only.
Some cookies are "session cookies" and are deleted when you close your browser. Others are "persistent cookies" and remain on your device for extended periods to remember your preferences.

We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and run the app — these are not used to track you. With your permission, we also load optional HubSpot analytics cookies to understand how the app is used. These are never loaded unless you opt in, and we do not track you across other apps or websites. You can change your choice anytime in your profile settings or our cookie policy.
