These keep Yardd working. They allow you to:
- sign in

These help us understand how people use Yardd so we can improve it. For example, they tell us:
- which pages are most popular
- where users get stuck

We use privacy-focused analytics tools wherever possible. These cookies are only used if you accept them in the cookie banner.

These remember things like your preferences so your experience feels smoother. Examples include:
- your chosen language

These are optional.
d) Marketing and advertising cookies
These help us show more relevant adverts for Yardd on other websites and social platforms. They may also limit how often you see an advert.
These cookies are only used if you give permission.
