Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how the AI Skill Assessment platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or interact with our services. By continuing to use our platform, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail on how we handle your personal information.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website or use an online service. They allow the platform to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and provide a more consistent and efficient experience. Cookies may be set by the platform you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that operate on the platform (third-party cookies).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies, each serving a specific and necessary purpose in delivering our services.

• Strictly Necessary Cookies — These cookies are essential for the platform to function correctly. They enable core features such as user authentication, session management, security protections, and access to assessment environments. Without these cookies, the platform cannot operate as intended. These cookies cannot be disabled.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies — These cookies collect anonymized information about how users interact with the platform, including pages visited, time spent on each page, navigation paths, error encounters, and feature usage patterns. This data helps us understand user behavior, identify areas for improvement, and optimize the platform experience. No personally identifiable information is collected through these cookies.
• Functional Cookies — These cookies enable the platform to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, theme settings, or display preferences) and provide enhanced, personalized features. They may also be used to remember the state of assessment sessions so you can resume where you left off.
• Assessment Integrity Cookies — These cookies support our anti-cheating and assessment integrity mechanisms. They help us detect unusual activity patterns, such as tab switching during assessments, session anomalies, or behavior inconsistent with genuine assessment completion. This data is used solely to maintain the fairness and validity of assessment results.

3. Third-Party Cookies

In some cases, we use third-party services that may set their own cookies on your device. These include analytics providers that help us measure platform usage, payment processors that handle subscription transactions, and infrastructure providers that ensure platform security and performance. Third-party cookies are governed by the respective privacy policies of those providers. We carefully select our partners and require them to handle data responsibly.

4. Cookie Duration

Cookies used on our platform fall into two categories based on how long they remain on your device.

• Session Cookies — These are temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session state, such as keeping you logged in while you navigate between pages or complete an assessment.
• Persistent Cookies — These remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences, authentication tokens, and analytics identifiers across visits. The maximum retention period for our persistent cookies does not exceed 12 months.

5. How to Manage Cookies

You have the right to control which cookies are placed on your device. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookie settings through their preferences or settings menu. You can choose to block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete cookies that have already been set. Please note that blocking or deleting certain cookies may impact your ability to use the platform fully — in particular, strictly necessary cookies are required for authentication, session management, and assessment functionality.

6. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting that sends a signal to websites you visit. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to this signal. At this time, our platform does not alter its behavior in response to Do Not Track signals, but we respect your right to manage tracking through the cookie controls and browser settings described above.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, the technologies involved, or applicable regulations. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this policy and, where appropriate, notify you through the platform. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed.

8. Contact Us
