Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 15, 2025
At Xoralox, we believe in complete transparency about how we collect and use data on our platform. This policy explains what tracking technologies we use, why we need them, and how you can control your preferences. We're not here to hide behind legal jargon—just straightforward information about how xoralox.pro works.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as tiny notes that help websites remember things about your visit—like your language preference or whether you're logged in.
They're not programs and can't carry viruses. Most sites use them because they make browsing smoother and more personalized. Without cookies, you'd have to log in every time you clicked to a new page or reset your preferences constantly.
How We Use Tracking Technologies
We use several types of tracking methods on xoralox.pro, each serving a specific purpose. Some are essential for the site to work properly, while others help us understand how people use our educational resources so we can make improvements.
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functional. They remember your login status, security settings, and basic preferences. Without these, you couldn't navigate between pages while staying logged in or access secure areas of our platform. We don't ask permission for these because they're necessary for basic operation.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices—things like which currency format you prefer, your notification settings, or your progress through our learning modules. They make your experience more personalized and save you from repeatedly entering the same information.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our content. Which articles get the most attention? Where do people get stuck in our learning paths? This data helps us identify what's working and what needs improvement. All analytics data is aggregated and anonymized.
Performance Cookies
These help us measure site speed and performance. If a particular page loads slowly for users in a specific region, we need to know so we can fix it. They collect technical information about how the site performs on different devices and connection speeds.
Data We Collect Through Tracking
Here's what we actually gather when you use xoralox.pro. Nothing here involves personal financial data or sensitive information—just behavioral and technical details that help us run the platform better.
- Pages you visit and how long you spend on them
- Which learning modules you complete and your progress through courses
- Device type, browser version, and screen resolution
- Approximate location based on IP address (city level, not specific address)
- How you arrived at our site (search engine, direct link, referral)
- Interaction patterns with educational content and resources
- Error messages or technical issues you encounter
How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Different types of tracking data have different lifespans. Some disappear the moment you close your browser, while others stick around longer to provide continuity across visits.
| Cookie Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session Cookies | Until browser closes | Maintain login and navigation state |
| Preference Cookies | 12 months | Remember your settings and choices |
| Analytics Cookies | 24 months | Track long-term usage patterns |
| Security Cookies | 6 months | Detect suspicious activity |
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have complete control over which cookies you accept. Most browsers let you block all cookies, accept only certain types, or get notified before a cookie is stored.
Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies will break basic site functionality. You won't be able to log in or access personalized content. But blocking analytics or performance cookies won't affect your ability to use the platform—we'll just have less data about how to improve it.

Third-Party Tracking
We don't sell your data or share it with advertising networks. However, we do use a few trusted third-party services that may set their own cookies:
Our analytics provider helps us understand site usage patterns. Our content delivery network speeds up page loading. Our security service protects against malicious traffic. Each of these partners has their own privacy policies, and they're all bound by strict data protection agreements with us.
We review these partnerships regularly and only work with companies that share our commitment to user privacy.
Updates to This Policy
We review and update this policy periodically—usually when we add new features or change how we process data. Any significant changes will be posted here with a new "Last Updated" date at the top.
If we make major changes that affect how we collect or use tracking data, we'll notify active users directly through email or an in-platform announcement.
