1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website owners.
Cookies can be "session" cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until deleted).
2. How We Use Cookies
The Study Gram Education website (studygramedu.com) uses a small number of cookies to ensure the site functions correctly and to remember your preferences. We do not use cookies for advertising or tracking across third-party websites.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function. Without them, certain features (such as the contact form submission process) would not work. These cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled.
- PHP Session Cookie (
PHPSESSID) — A temporary session cookie set by our PHP backend when you submit the contact form. It is used for rate-limiting purposes (to prevent form spam) and expires when you close your browser. It contains a random session identifier and no personal data.
3.2 Functional / Preference Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make on our website and allow us to provide a better experience.
- Cookie Consent Preference (
sge_cookie_consent) — Stored in your browser's localStorage (not a traditional cookie). It records whether you have accepted or declined our cookie notice so that the banner is not shown on every visit. This stores only the string "accepted" or "declined" — no personal data. It persists for the lifetime of your browser's local storage.
3.3 Third-Party Cookies
Our website loads the following third-party resources which may set their own cookies or log data:
- Google Fonts — We use Google Fonts to display our typography. Google may log the request (including your IP address) for security and abuse prevention. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for details.
- Font Awesome (Cloudflare CDN) — We load icon assets from Cloudflare's CDN. Cloudflare may log the request for network performance and security purposes. Refer to Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any advertising-based tracking cookies on this website.
4. Your Consent
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner is displayed. By clicking "Accept All", you consent to the use of the functional and third-party cookies described above. By clicking "Decline", we will not use non-essential cookies; however, strictly necessary cookies required for the site to function will still be set.
You can change your consent at any time by clearing your browser's local storage and cookies and revisiting the site, where the banner will reappear.
5. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View what cookies are stored on your device.
- Delete all or specific cookies.
