Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies (and similar technologies like browser local storage) are small pieces of data a website stores on your device. Some are required for the site to function; others help us understand how the site is used.

What we use

Name	Purpose	Type	Duration
Supabase auth session	Keeps you signed in between visits (stored in browser local storage, not a traditional cookie, but serves the same purpose)	Essential — always on	Until you sign out
_ga, _ga_*	Google Analytics — distinguishes visitors and sessions so we can see aggregate usage patterns	Analytics — only after you accept	Up to 2 years
uksh_cookie_consent	Remembers your cookie preference so we don't ask again every visit	Essential — always on	1 year

Essential vs analytics

Essential: required for core features like staying signed in. These can't be switched off, but they don't track you across other websites and we don't use them for advertising.

Analytics (Google Analytics 4): optional. Helps us understand which pages are useful and where students are getting stuck. We do not send your name, email, phone number, or the content of anything you submit to Google Analytics — only anonymised page-view and interaction data.

Managing your preference

When you first visit, you'll see a cookie banner where you can Accept all or Reject non-essential cookies. You can change your mind at any time using the button below — it clears your saved choice and shows the banner again.

Manage cookie preferences

You can also control cookies at the browser level — see aboutcookies.org for instructions for your specific browser.

Third-party cookies

Google Analytics sets its own cookies once you've consented. See Google's cookie policy for detail on what they collect.
