6. Do Not Track

Our platform respects Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals. When we detect a DNT signal, we disable non-essential analytics cookies for that session.

In keeping with our commitment to student privacy, we want to be clear:

• We never use cookies to track individual students
• Analytics data is aggregated and cannot identify individual students
