Cookie Policy

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or mobile device by your web browser when you visit a website. They help platforms recognize your device, store preference parameters (such as your chosen light or dark theme), speed up logins, and serve relevant content or advertisements.

We also use browser local storage (localStorage) to persist workspace configurations, mock resource bookmarks, question lists, and user streak details offline or between client sessions.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

A. Essential & Functional Cookies:

These cookies and storage states are strictly necessary to deliver page routing, authentication sessions (e.g. Next-Auth cookies), and security parameters. Without them, you would not be able to log in or access your Dashboard workspace.

B. Analytics & Custom Preferences:

These store client settings, such as your light/dark mode preference (`bnc_theme`), your current XP details, and layout preferences. They also aggregate anonymous tracking metrics to tell us which resources are read most frequently.

C. Advertising & Third-Party Tracker Cookies:

We allow third-party advertisement networks (principally Google AdSense) to place cookies on your browser. Google uses these cookies to personalize the ads shown to you, or to limit the number of times you see a specific promotion.

3. Controlling Your Cookie Choices

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

• Browser Settings: You can block or delete cookies directly inside your browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, etc.). However, blocking all cookies will break core platform capabilities like user login state.
• Google Settings: You can review and opt out of Google AdSense personalized tracking via Google Ad Settings.

4. Changes to Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to align with technology updates or legal modifications. We encourage you to check this page regularly to stay informed about our cookie practices.
