🍪 Cookies Policy
What Is A Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a web server when you access a webpage. It allows the platform to recognize your browser, remember configuration choices, and secure your active sessions, eliminating the need to re-enter details repeatedly.
How Long Are Cookies Stored For?
The lifespan of a cookie depends on its specific functional utility. Session cookies disappear the moment you close your web browser, while persistent cookies (such as login memory or screen preference selectors) remain stored on your device for a period ranging from 1 day up to 1 year unless manually cleared by the user.
Cookies Used On The Website
We categorize our deployment of cookies into four functional areas:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are vital for basic platform operations. For example, if you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. It contains zero personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Performance Cookies
These track operational efficiency, server response metrics, and automated spam boundaries. If you request a password reset, your IP address is securely included in the temporary system logs to prevent brute-force system entries.
Functionality Cookies
Designed to optimize user ease. If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies so you do not have to fill in details again next time. These persist for one year. Similarly, login preference cookies persist for two days, while customized screen option selections last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login status to two weeks.
Third Party Cookies
These are deployed by embedded external widgets, video players, or analytical engines integrated into our educational articles. For instance, an embedded video player may track playback engagement metrics according to its own independent privacy network rules.
