1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device - computer, tablet, or mobile phone - when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to the owners of the site.
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third parties whose services appear on that website (third-party cookies). Cookies can be either session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for a variety of purposes, including to operate and maintain our platform, to remember your preferences and settings, to understand how you interact with our content, to measure the effectiveness of our features, and to improve overall performance and user experience.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the platform to function. Without them, core services such as account access, quiz sessions, and navigation cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect any information that could be used for marketing and cannot be disabled without affecting platform functionality.
3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our platform - for example, which pages are visited most frequently and whether users receive error messages. The information gathered is aggregated and anonymous. It helps us understand and improve how our platform performs.
3.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies allow the platform to remember choices you make - such as your preferred language, display settings, or progress within interactive content - and provide enhanced, personalised features. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your activity on other websites.
3.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be set through our platform by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device. If you do not allow these cookies, you may experience less targeted content.
3.5 Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. These may include analytics providers, embedded content services, or social sharing tools. We do not control these third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the respective privacy and cookie policies of those third parties.
