What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They help websites remember information about your visit, making your browsing experience more efficient and personalized. Most websites use cookies in some form because they're essential for providing many online services.

Think of cookies like bookmarks that remember where you left off. They can store your preferences, keep you logged in, remember what's in your shopping cart, or help us understand which parts of our site are most useful to our visitors.

Mobile Device Settings

Mobile browsers also offer cookie controls, though the interface might be different from desktop versions. Look for privacy or security settings in your mobile browser's menu. Some mobile devices also provide system-level tracking controls that affect how websites can track your activity.

Third-Party Opt-Outs

If we use third-party analytics or advertising services, many of these companies provide their own opt-out mechanisms. We'll include links to relevant opt-out pages when applicable, though we primarily focus on first-party cookies for our educational content delivery.
