1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device. They are widely used to make sites work, to remember your preferences, and to understand how visitors use a site. We also use related technologies — local storage, session storage, and pixel tags — and refer to all of them collectively as "cookies" in this policy.
2. How we use them
FSOT Daily uses cookies to:
- Keep you signed in across pages and visits.
- Remember preferences such as your selected accent color or last‑viewed knowledge area.
- Understand how the Service is used in aggregate, so we can improve it.
- Detect and prevent fraud and abuse.
3. Types of cookies we use
Strictly necessary
Required for the Service to function — for example, to authenticate you and prevent cross‑site request forgery. These cannot be turned off without breaking the Service.
Functional
Remember preferences such as theme, language, or display options. Disabling these doesn't break the Service but reverts these preferences to defaults.
Analytics
Help us understand traffic patterns and product usage in aggregate. We use a privacy‑respecting analytics provider configured to collect the minimum data needed and to honor "Do Not Track" and Global Privacy Control signals where supported.
4. Your choices
You can manage cookies through your browser settings — most browsers let you block all cookies, block third‑party cookies, or delete existing cookies. You can also clear local storage from browser settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in.
Where required by law, we present a cookie banner on first visit that lets you accept or reject non‑essential categories. You can change those choices at any time from the cookie settings link in our footer (when applicable in your region).
5. Third‑party cookies
We use a small number of trusted third parties to operate the Service — for example, our analytics provider and email delivery service. These providers may set their own cookies subject to their privacy and cookie policies. We require contractual safeguards limiting their use of any data collected through the Service.
