Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website operators. Cookies may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (stored for a defined period).

We do not use any form of cross-site tracking, behavioral profiling, or analytics tools that monitor user activity beyond what is required for authentication and core service functionality.
4. How to Manage Cookies
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse new cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when new cookies are set. Please refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data

Please note: Disabling the essential cookies listed above will prevent you from logging in to ChronoForge, as they are required for authentication to work correctly.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if we add new features or change the cookies we use. Any material changes will be communicated to you by email or through a notice in the Service. If we introduce non-essential cookies in the future, we will provide clear notice and obtain any required consent before enabling them.
