Cookie Policy for Essential Cookies (Philippines)

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They help our website function properly and improve your experience.

2. Cookies We Set

We set only cookies the website needs to work. None of them are used for advertising or to track you across other sites.

• Authentication cookies: Keep you signed in and maintain your session securely as you move between pages. They expire when your session ends or you sign out.
• Display preference: Remembers whether you chose light or dark mode.
• Private campaign access: When you open a private campaign through a share link, a cookie remembers that access for 24 hours so you can return to the campaign without the link.

3. Third-Party Services

• Google reCAPTCHA protects our sign-up form from bots. Google may set its own cookies on that page and receives your IP address and browser signals to make its assessment. See Google's privacy policy.
• Vercel Web Analytics tells us how many people visit each page. It does not use cookies, does not build a profile of you, and does not track you across other websites.

4. Browser Storage

We also keep a few conveniences in your browser's local storage. They stay on your device and are not sent to us:

• Your email address on the sign-in page, if you choose "remember me"
• The email address awaiting confirmation after sign-up
• When you last saw a platform announcement, so we do not show it again

5. Managing Cookies

• You can clear or block cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Blocking authentication cookies means you will not be able to stay signed in.
• If you log out or clear your browser cookies, your session will end.
