## What Are Cookies?

<Card title="Understanding Cookies" icon="info-circle">
  **Cookies are like little notes websites leave on your computer.**

  These notes help websites remember things about you - like your preferences, login status, or browsing behavior. While some cookies are helpful, many are used for tracking and advertising.

## Our No-Cookie Promise

## What About Our Helper Friends?

<Card title="Third-Party Services" icon="handshake">
  **Some services we use for analytics don't use cookies either.**

  * **Fathom Analytics**: We use Fathom for anonymous usage analytics on our documentation website. Fathom is privacy-focused and doesn't use tracking cookies or collect personal data.

  * **TelemetryDeck**: We use TelemetryDeck for anonymous in-app analytics to understand how people use Cleft. TelemetryDeck doesn't use cookies - it uses anonymous device identifiers and collects no personal information.

  Both services align with our privacy-first approach - no cookies, no personal data collection.

  **External Providers**: If you visit them directly, please check their rules about cookies. We provide links to their privacy policies when relevant.
</Card>

## If We Change Our Mind

<Card title="Future Updates" icon="clock">
  **Transparency Promise**

  If we ever decide to use cookies in the future, we'll:

  * Tell you here and explain why
  * Update this policy with clear information
  * Give you control over cookie preferences
  * Maintain our commitment to your privacy

  **Current Status**: No changes planned. Our no-cookie approach aligns with our privacy-first values.
