We use first-party cookies, i.e. cookies set and controlled by us, not by external organizations.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for our site to provide core functionality.
Without them the site could not operate.
These core functions include login in the forum, i.e. authentication and session cookies, the main services on our site,

They do not collect or store any information that will directly identify you (such as your name or email address).

User-led consent / Preferences cookies
We store user-interface customization cookies.
These are cookies that store user-experience preferences, like the chosen font to use for display.
Third-party cookies
Videos
Videos are streamed through YouTube, so their policy applies, too.
We do not have control over the placement of cookies by embedded content such as this.
Cookies are stored even if you don't watch the videos.
Links
More in general, when you click a link in our website redirecting to a third-party website, then their cookies policy applies.

We use both session and persistent cookies.
Session cookies are temporary and expire once your session ends or once you close your browser.
Persistent cookies remain on your hard drive until your browser erases them, according to the cookie’s expiration date.
What kind of cookies we do NOT use
With the exception of YouTube above, we do NOT use tracking cookies, advertising or marketing cookies,
analytics cookies, statistics cookies, performance cookies.
Payment processor
When you buy a license through the desktop application (the only way),
your default browser open a page of our payment gateway site, where their cookies policy applies.
