This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar storage mechanisms Frontend Forever uses, why we use them, and how you can control them.

No Advertising or Tracking Cookies

We do not use any advertising, marketing, or third-party tracking cookies. We do not share cookie data with advertisers.

Managing Cookies

You can clear cookies and localStorage at any time via your browser's settings. Please note:

  • Clearing essential cookies will log you out.
  • Clearing preference cookies will reset your theme to the default.
  • You can also disable cookies in your browser, but this will prevent you from logging in.
