1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you browse websites. Local storage provides similar functionality allowing browsers to retain configuration state.
We utilize cookies to ensure core website security, retain session state, measure platform performance, and improve your user experience.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
Our digital platform categorizes cookies into three functional tiers:

• Analytics & Performance Cookies: Used in aggregate to understand visitor traffic patterns, page load latency, and popular curriculum pathways. These are deactivated until you grant explicit consent.
• Marketing & Targeting Cookies: Used to evaluate educational advisory engagement and measure recruitment campaigns. These are deactivated by default and only operate with your prior consent.
3. Granular Cookie Inventory

Analytics (Optional): `_ga`, `_gid` (Google Analytics aggregate telemetry, 24 months / 24 hours duration respectively, subject to user consent).
