"heading": "2. Categories of Cookies We Use",
"body": "We use the following categories of cookies, aligned with the consent options in our cookie consent system:\n\n**Strictly Necessary Cookies**\nThese cookies are essential for the Service to function. They enable core features such as authentication, session management, security, and workspace navigation. Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent and cannot be disabled through our cookie preferences.\n\nExamples of strictly necessary cookies include: session authentication tokens, CSRF protection tokens, and consent preference storage.\n\n**Preference (Functional) Cookies**\nThese cookies remember your settings and preferences to provide a more personalized experience. Examples include your selected language (English or German), display theme, and workspace preferences.\n\n**Analytics Cookies**\nThese cookies help us understand how users interact with the Service. We use analytics data to identify which features are popular, diagnose technical issues, and improve overall product quality. Analytics cookies are only set with your consent.\n\n[LEGAL REVIEW: Confirm specific analytics providers used (e.g., whether a self-hosted analytics solution or a third-party like Plausible, PostHog, or similar is used) and disclose them here.]\n\n**Marketing Cookies**\n[LEGAL REVIEW: If marketing/advertising retargeting cookies are used or planned, they must be disclosed here with the identity of advertising partners. If they are not used, state that explicitly. Do not include this category if it is not applicable.]\n\nCurrently, TargoNIX does not use cookies for advertising or retargeting purposes. If this changes, this policy will be updated and you will be notified."

Each must be identified by name with a link to their cookie/privacy policy.]\n\nWhere you have connected social media accounts to TargoNIX, those platforms' APIs are accessed on your behalf.
