1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners.
Cookies help us recognize your device when you return to our website, allowing us to customize and retrieve your profile preferences and dashboard sessions.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your interaction and maintain user security. Cookies help us:
- Keep you securely logged in to your student dashboard during your study session.
- Verify auth tokens and credentials to block malicious scraping or multi-account sharing breaches.
- Remember custom preferences, such as default classes, sidebar states, or themes.
- Identify loading bottlenecks and track error logs to keep page response times fast.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
The cookies utilized on our platform fall into the following categories:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for standard page navigation and authentication. Without these, student dashboard logins and protected routes will not function.
- Preference Cookies: Allow our site to remember settings you customize (like dashboard layout settings or theme states).
- Performance Cookies: Collect anonymous statistics about website usage to identify slow-loading pages or system bugs.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some essential integrations we use place cookies directly to assist with platform storage and authentication:
- Supabase: Places secure authentication session cookies (`sb-access-token`, `sb-refresh-token`) to manage student account authorization and protected routes.
- YouTube / Vimeo: If live streams or course lectures are hosted via embedded players, these services may store cookies to track video performance or playback history.
