What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time, so you don't have to re-enter them whenever you come back or browse between pages.
How we use cookies
VizRace uses cookies for the following purposes:
Essential for the Service to function. These cannot be disabled — without them, you cannot log in or save your work.
Remember your preferences (such as editor theme or export settings) so you don't have to reconfigure them each visit.
Help us understand how people use the Service — which features are popular, where users encounter problems — so we can improve. We use privacy-preserving analytics and do not share this data with advertisers.

Third-party cookies
We may use third-party services that set their own cookies, including:
- Authentication providers (e.g. Google Sign-In) — set cookies to manage sign-in sessions.
- Analytics providers — help us measure usage in aggregate, anonymised form.
These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.
Managing cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View cookies currently stored
