• View cookies stored on your device

7.2 Consequences of Disabling Cookies

If you disable essential cookies:

• You will not be able to log in to your account
• The Service may not function properly

• You may need to re-enter information repeatedly

If you disable security/fingerprinting:

7.3 Mobile Devices

On mobile devices, you can manage cookies and tracking through:

• Your mobile browser settings (similar to desktop browsers)
• Device privacy settings (iOS/Android)
• App-specific settings (if using our app)

8. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals websites that you do not want to be tracked. Currently, there is no industry-wide standard for how to respond to DNT signals.

Our Service does not currently respond to DNT signals because:

• We use minimal tracking primarily for essential security and functionality
• We do not engage in behavioral advertising or cross-site tracking
• There is no agreed-upon standard for DNT implementation

9. Updates to Browser Fingerprinting Technology

Browser fingerprinting is a privacy-preserving alternative to traditional tracking cookies. We use it specifically for:

• Security (detecting fraudulent access patterns)
• Rate limiting (enforcing fair usage policies)
• Fraud prevention (identifying bot activity)

We do not use fingerprinting for:

• Behavioral advertising
• Cross-site tracking
• Building user profiles for marketing
• Sharing with third parties
