Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, which ones EduConnect uses, and how you can control them. It complements our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies — such as local storage — work in comparable ways. They let a site remember your actions and preferences over time, keep you signed in, and understand how the site is used.
2. Do we use cookies?
Yes, but sparingly. We use only what is needed to make EduConnect work securely and to remember your basic preferences, plus — and only with your consent — a limited amount of analytics. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and we do not sell data collected through cookies.
3. Categories of cookies we use
• Strictly necessary — required for core functions such as signing in, security and remembering your cookie choices. These cannot be switched off. • Preferences — remember choices such as your language, to give you a better experience. • Analytics (optional) — if enabled, help us understand how the site is used, in aggregate, and are set only with your consent.
4. Cookies and storage we use
The table below describes the main cookies and storage items. Specific names may change as the Service evolves; the categories and purposes stay the same.
| Name / type | Purpose | Category | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Authentication / session | Keeps you securely signed in during a session | Strictly necessary | Session |
| Anti-forgery (CSRF) | Protects forms against cross-site request forgery | Strictly necessary | Session |
| Language preference | Remembers the language you chose | Preferences | Up to 12 months |
| Cookie consent | Stores your cookie choices | Strictly necessary | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics (if enabled) | Aggregate, privacy-respecting usage statistics | Analytics — consent | Up to 24 months |
5. Managing and disabling cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings — most browsers let you view, delete and block cookies. Where we use optional analytics, you can accept or decline them via our cookie prompt and change your choice later. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the Service from working.
6. Consent
We set non-essential cookies only after you have given consent. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time; doing so will not affect processing that already took place while consent was in force.
7. Changes and contact
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes. We will update the date above when we do. For any question, contact us at contact@educonnect.today.
