Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Writer Depot) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

We use cookies for the following essential purposes:

• Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They include authentication, security, and cookie preference storage.
• Third-Party Services: We use external services (Google Fonts, Tailwind CSS CDN) that may set cookies for caching and performance purposes.

Note: We do not currently use performance tracking, analytics, functional, or marketing cookies.
