How we use cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files saved in your browser. We also use similar browser storage in a limited way where it helps the signup flow or campaign attribution work properly.

On the current build, essential cookies are used for the signup journey and to remember your consent choice. Optional analytics and marketing tools are off by default and only turn on if you choose them.

Essential cookies

These are used because the related feature would not work properly without them.

handover_cookie_consentRemembers whether you accepted optional analytics and marketing cookies so we do not ask on every page load.Up to 6 months

These tools only run after you enable the relevant category in the preference panel below.
