This policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and the choices available to you regarding their use.

1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to improve the user experience, and to provide information to the website owner. Cookies typically contain the name of the website that set the cookie, the duration for which the cookie will be stored, and a value (usually a randomly generated unique identifier).
There are different types of cookies:
- Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them.
- First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting.
- Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, usually by advertising or analytics services.
2. How We Use Cookies
Rate Limiting
We set a first-party session cookie to track the number of download requests made from your browser within a given time window. This allows us to enforce fair-use limits and prevent abuse of our Service. This cookie contains no personally identifiable information and expires when you close your browser.
Preference Storage
We may store lightweight, non-personal preference data (such as your last-used settings) in cookies or local storage to improve your experience across visits. No personal data is stored in these cookies.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Google AdSense
We display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google uses cookies — including the DoubleClick cookie — to serve ads based on your browsing history and interests. These cookies allow Google and its advertising partners to track conversions, optimize ad delivery, and personalize the ads you see.
You can learn more about how Google uses data from advertising cookies at Google’s Advertising Policies.
Google Analytics
If Google Analytics is enabled on our site, Google sets cookies that help us understand how visitors interact with our Service — for example, which pages are visited most often and how users navigate the site. This data is aggregated and anonymous. It is used solely to improve our Service and does not identify you personally.
