You can clear local storage through your browser settings. This will log you out and reset your preferences.

Our Service integrates with:

Google Analytics:
Website analytics and usage tracking (operates in consent mode - cookieless by default unless you accept cookies)
Stripe:
Payment processing (see Stripe's privacy policy)

These services have their own privacy policies governing their use of your information. You can control Google Analytics tracking through our cookie consent banner.
