Affiliate & Referral Tracking
When you visit via an affiliate link (e.g., ?aff=CODE), we store the referral code in your browser for 30 days. This ensures the referring partner receives proper credit if you make a purchase during this period.📌 This only tracks the referral source — not your personal identity or browsing history.
🔐 Security Measures
- All tokens are transmitted exclusively over HTTPS connections.
- Access tokens automatically refresh 30 seconds before expiration to prevent interruptions.
- Authentication tokens are immediately cleared upon logout.
- Password reset tokens are single-use and expire after first access.

To manage authentication cookies specifically:
- Log Out: Click the "Sign Out" button in your account menu to clear all authentication tokens.
