This Cookie Policy explains how ACODA ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at acoda.com (the "Service"). This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we use personal information.

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

These cookies enable us to remember your preferences and settings, such as your language preferences, theme settings, and other customizations you make to the Service.

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our Service by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us improve the Service's performance and user experience.

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies:

Local Storage:
We use browser local storage to store certain preferences and data locally on your device. This includes editor settings, draft content, and application state. Local storage data does not expire automatically and remains until cleared.

Similar to local storage but cleared when you close your browser tab. Used for temporary application state.

• Your preferences and settings may not be remembered

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals.

At this time, our Service does not respond to DNT signals. However, you can use the cookie management options described above to control tracking.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.

When we make changes, we will:

• Update the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy
• Post the revised policy on our website
• For significant changes, provide notice through the Service or via email

We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our cookie practices.
