1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files containing small amounts of data that are downloaded and stored on your browser or device when you browse websites. Cookies help websites recognize your device, maintain login sessions, remember preference settings, and ensure a seamless, secure browsing experience.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We classify the cookies utilized on our website into the following functional categories:

A. Strictly Necessary & Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the fundamental operation and security of the website. They enable core functionalities such as session management, page navigation, secure checkout tokenization, and server load balancing. Without these cookies, services like course enrollment and secure checkout cannot function.

B. Performance & Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect anonymous, aggregated information about how visitors interact with our pages (e.g., which lesson previews are viewed most often, page loading speeds, and site navigation errors). This helps us continually optimize our website architecture and improve student learning experiences. No directly identifiable personal information is stored in analytics cookies.

C. Functionality & Preference Cookies

Functionality cookies remember choices you make while browsing (such as language preferences, video volume states, or form pre-fills) to deliver an effortless, personalized learning journey.

D. Secure Payment & Security Cookies

When processing payments for the Pigmentation Correction Challenge, our integrated certified payment gateways (e.g., Razorpay, Cashfree, or Stripe) deploy dedicated session and anti-fraud cookies. These ensure your transaction is authentic, tokenized, and protected against unauthorized tampering under PCI-DSS security compliance.

3. Third-Party Cookies

In certain instances, trusted third-party services provide features on our behalf, including video streaming players, font distribution networks (Google Fonts), and payment gateway verification. These external providers may set their own cookies subject to their independent privacy standards.

4. How Can You Control or Disable Cookies?

You have full control over your cookie preferences:

• Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to modify cookie settings to reject all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or alert you when a cookie is placed. You can adjust these in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, or Brave under Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies.
• Incognito / Private Mode: Browsing in Private/Incognito mode automatically deletes cookies when you close your browser window.

Note: If you choose to completely block all cookies, certain secure areas of the website (including course portals and checkout payment flows) may not function as intended.

5. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may periodically update this Cookie Policy to reflect technical upgrades, changes in our digital services, or regulatory updates. Any revisions will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
