How we use cookies & local storage

We keep cookie use to the minimum needed to run the service.

• Essential session cookie — signs you in and protects forms (CSRF). Required for the site to function; cannot be disabled.
• Consent flag — we store your cookie acknowledgement in your browser’s local storage so the banner does not reappear. This stays on your device.

What we do NOT use

• No advertising, remarketing, or cross-site tracking cookies.
• No third-party analytics or fingerprinting.

Third-party features

If you enable the optional Google Translate widget, Google may set its own cookies to provide translation. This is governed by Google’s privacy policy and only loads if you use it.

Managing cookies

You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings; note that blocking the essential session cookie will prevent sign-in. Questions: privacy@stepsventures.com.
