What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They help us recognize your browser and remember certain information about your preferences and activities. Most modern websites use cookies to provide a better user experience.
Our platform uses cookies to maintain your login session, remember your course progress, and understand how you interact with our content. This allows us to deliver personalized learning paths and improve our educational materials based on actual usage patterns.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Required for basic platform functionality like authentication, session management, and security features. These cannot be disabled without affecting core services.
Performance Cookies
Help us understand how students interact with course materials, which lessons are most effective, and where learners encounter difficulties.
Functional Cookies
Remember your preferences such as video playback settings, preferred learning pace, and interface customization choices for a consistent experience.
Analytics Cookies
Collect aggregated data about course completion rates, popular topics, and learning patterns to help us improve course content and platform design.
How We Use Cookie Data
The information collected through cookies helps us maintain a functional learning platform and continuously improve our educational offerings. We track course progress so you can pick up where you left off, analyze which teaching methods work best for different topics, and identify technical issues before they affect your learning.
We use aggregated cookie data to understand broader patterns in student engagement. For instance, if many students replay a specific video segment, we know that topic might need clearer explanation. If certain quiz questions consistently trip people up, we can revise them for better clarity.
Session Persistence
Keep you logged in as you navigate between lessons and maintain your progress without requiring repeated authentication.
Learning Analytics
Track time spent on different materials, completion rates, and quiz performance to identify areas where students need additional support.
Platform Optimization
Monitor technical performance like page load times, video streaming quality, and interface responsiveness across different devices.
Preference Management
Store your interface settings, notification preferences, and accessibility options so they persist across sessions.
Third-Party Cookies
Some features on our platform use services provided by third parties, which may set their own cookies. We integrate video hosting services for course content delivery, analytics platforms to measure website performance, and payment processors for secure transactions.
These third parties operate under their own privacy policies. We carefully select service providers that meet stringent data protection standards, but we recommend reviewing their cookie policies if you want to understand their specific data collection practices.

Cookie Lifespan
Different cookies remain on your device for different periods. Session cookies expire when you close your browser and are used primarily for authentication and temporary preferences. Persistent cookies remain stored for longer periods and help us remember your settings between visits.
Our essential cookies typically last for the duration of your session or up to 90 days for remember-me functionality. Analytics cookies may persist for up to two years to track long-term learning patterns and platform improvements. You can clear these at any time through your browser settings.
