Cookies are small text files stored on your device to make websites work more efficiently and provide preference settings. We use the following cookies:

• Authentication & Sessions: We use secure session cookies (via NextAuth.js) to identify logged-in staff and administrators. This maintains access protection for the CRM lead dashboard.
• UI Preferences: We store your chosen color mode preference (Light/Dark theme via `next-themes`) in local storage so it persists across visits.
