1. What cookies and browser storage are
Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. "Local storage" works in a similar way but stays on your device and is not sent with every request. We use both, and refer to them together as "cookies".
2. Essential (always on)
These are needed for the platform to work and cannot be switched off. They are not used for tracking or advertising.
