Cookie Policy | Idora — How We Use Cookies

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and improve your browsing experience.

We also use similar technologies like local storage and session storage to maintain your authentication state and preferences while using Idora.

Plain English: Cookies are tiny files that help Idora remember who you are so you don't have to log in every time you open the app.

2. How We Use Cookies

Idora uses cookies and similar technologies for a limited set of purposes:

Authentication: Keeping you logged in securely across sessions
Security: Protecting your account from unauthorized access
Preferences: Remembering your language, theme, and display settings
Functionality: Enabling core features like form auto-save and navigation state

Our commitment: We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioral tracking, or selling your data. Period.

5. Managing Cookies

You have several options for managing cookies:

Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging into Idora.
Do Not Track: We respect Do Not Track signals and do not track users across websites.

Important: Disabling strictly necessary cookies will break core functionality like authentication. We recommend keeping these enabled.
