1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function properly, remember your preferences, and provide analytics.
2. Cookies we use

These cookies are necessary for the Service to function. They cannot be disabled.
- Session cookie — maintains your authentication state after sign-in. Persists across browser sessions using a secure JWT token.

Functional cookies (optional)
These cookies remember your preferences to improve your experience.
- localStorage cache — caches employee data, department tree, holidays, and user settings locally for faster page loads. TTL: 5 minutes to 1 hour depending on data type. No personal data is sent to third parties.
- Theme preferences — remembers your display settings.
Third-party cookies
- Stripe — used during checkout for payment processing. See Stripe's Privacy Policy.

4. Managing cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies will prevent you from signing in to DTPulse. Clearing localStorage will reset cached data (it will be re-fetched on next visit).
