Cookies Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Similar storage technologies (like browser LocalStorage) are also used to remember settings or manage transient state.

2. How We Use Cookies

Lixionary is designed to be lightweight and privacy-respecting. We do not use commercial trackers, advertisement cookies, or behavioral profiling systems. Our usage is strictly limited to supporting core features:

• Strictly Necessary: We use session management and secure authentication cookies for admin-only dashboard features. These are essential for administrative actions and security.
• API Coordinates & Content: We store preference hints (such as map panning configurations or theme values) locally on your device to keep the user experience smooth and interactive.
• Third-Party Integrations: When the Google Maps Javascript API is enabled, Google may place cookies on your device to ensure map rendering, prevent spam, and authenticate requests.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Our external partners set cookies for specific services:

• Google Maps: Used to display interactive locations of life events and work history on our About page. Google’s cookie policy governs these cookies.
• Cloudinary: Used to host and deliver media assets. Cloudinary may employ cookies or local cache systems to optimize media delivery speeds.

4. Managing and Controlling Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can configure your browser to reject cookies, delete existing cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set. Please note that disabling essential cookies may impact your ability to log in as an administrator.
