Cookies can be "persistent" (remain on your device until deleted or expired) or "session" (deleted when you close your browser).

Your choice is stored in localStorage and will be remembered for future visits. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser data or contacting us.

5. How to Manage Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

5.1 Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to:

  • View and delete cookies
  • Block third-party cookies
  • Block all cookies
  • Clear cookies when you close your browser

Here's how to manage cookies in popular browsers:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

5.2 Impact of Blocking Cookies

Warning: If you block or delete essential cookies, you will not be able to use our Service. Specifically:

  • You will not be able to sign in or stay signed in
  • Your session will not persist
  • Core functionality will not work

Blocking functional cookies will only affect your preferences and customizations, not core functionality.

6. Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. However, there is no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals.

Flowcrest does not track users across websites for advertising purposes, so DNT signals do not affect our Service. We only use cookies as described in this policy.

7. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.
