What We Use Cookies For
We use cookies to achieve three goals:

We currently distinguish between "Essential" cookies (which we need to operate), "Analytics" cookies (which are optional), and "Marketing" cookies (which are optional).
1. Essential Cookies
These are strictly necessary to make our products available to you. We use these to authenticate users, maintain secure sessions, and mitigate automated traffic.

This helps us see which features are being used and how we can improve the Zed experience. We may allow third parties such as Amplitude to place cookies on our Website. These third parties have their own privacy policies and we do not control the cookies they may use.
We will only set these cookies if you consent to them via our cookie banner.
