Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device to remember information about your visit. Similar technologies include localStorage, sessionStorage, and pixels. In this policy, "cookies" refers to all of these.

StudyDSA uses a small number of cookies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and (with your consent) help us monitor errors. This policy explains what each one does and how to control them.

We group cookies into three categories. You can accept, reject, or customize the non-essential categories using the cookie banner.

• Strictly necessary. Required for the Service to function. They keep you signed in, secure form submissions, and store your consent choices. These cannot be turned off because the site would not work without them.
• Functional. Remember preferences (such as theme or preferred programming language) so you do not have to set them on every visit. You can decline these; the Service will simply forget those preferences between visits.
• Analytics and error monitoring. Help us understand how the Service is used and reproduce bugs. These are set only after you grant analytics consent. They never set when you decline or when you have not yet answered the banner.

You can change your consent choices at any time by clicking the link below, which reopens the cookie banner with your current settings:

Manage cookie preferences

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Be aware that strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled without breaking authentication. Browser-level blocking will sign you out and reset preferences each visit.

Where required, we honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as an opt-out of "sale" or "sharing" of personal information.

When you visit pages hosted by our payment processor Stripe (for example, the checkout page), Stripe sets its own cookies for fraud prevention and session management. Those cookies are governed by Stripe's privacy and cookie policies. We also link to OAuth providers (Google, GitHub, Microsoft, Apple) for sign-in; their authentication flows occur on their own domains and are governed by their respective policies.

When we add, remove, or change cookies, we update this page and the "Effective date" at the top. Material changes that affect non-essential categories will re-prompt you for consent where required by law.
