No Tracking Cookies

BrowserCode does not use third-party analytics cookies, advertising trackers, or cross-site tracking scripts. The storage mechanisms we use are strictly necessary for the platform to function.

Storage Categories

Essential Authentication

We use secure, HTTP-only cookies to verify your identity when you log in. Without these cookies, the application cannot keep you logged into your account securely.

UI Preferences

We may use your browser's Local Storage to remember interface preferences (such as Dark Mode or editor font size) so they persist across your visits.

Controlling Cookies

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. However, please note that blocking the auth_session cookie will prevent you from logging into BrowserCode and saving your progress.

To learn how to manage cookies, visit the help pages of your specific web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

Cookie FAQ

Do you use cookies?

Yes, but only strictly essential cookies. We use one primary cookie (`auth_session`) to keep you securely logged in.

Why is the authentication cookie required?

The authentication cookie acts as your secure ID badge. Every time you load a lesson, take a quiz, or save a project, this cookie proves to our server that it is really you, ensuring no one else can modify your learning data.

Can I disable cookies?

Yes, via your browser settings. However, if you disable cookies completely, you will not be able to sign in or use the interactive features that require an account. You will only be able to browse the public lessons anonymously.

Do you use third-party cookies?

No. We do not use Google Analytics or similar third-party tracking scripts that inject marketing cookies into your browser.
