Cookie Policy

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, improve page loading times, and provide analytical information to website owners.

This Cookie Policy explains how EduSkill Group utilizes cookies, web beacons, and tracking pixels across our unified portals (including EduSkill.org, EduSkillX learning portal, NearbyHiring placement board, and EvoXel assessment interfaces).

1. How We Use Cookies

We deploy cookies to improve your user experience and protect the integrity of our assessment environments. Specifically, cookies are used for:

• Keeping you logged in as a candidate during continuous study or testing sessions.
• Preserving your compiler progress, code saves, and virtual science laboratory parameters.
• Maintaining chatbot session details (such as current conversation context with Nexa AI).
• Analyzing visitor traffic trends to upgrade our page speeds and resource layouts.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Our platforms set cookies in the following categories:

• Essential & Operational Cookies: These are strictly required to navigate our site and run core features. For example, they keep track of exam timing and authentication tokens during assessments. Without these cookies, services like proctored tests cannot be provided.
• Performance & Analytics Cookies: These gather anonymous data on how visitors interact with our pages, such as which pages are visited most often or if any page errors occur. We use this data strictly to optimize platform layout.
• Functional Cookies: These enable our website to remember choices you make (such as language preference or region settings) and provide enhanced, personalized tools.
• Proctoring & Security Cookies: Used to detect patterns that might compromise assessment integrity, such as duplicate active logins or session-hijacking attempts.

3. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our first-party cookies, certain trusted third-party integrations may set cookies when you browse our site:

• FriendBuy Widget: Placed on referral pages (like Refer & Earn) to attribute invitations and manage affiliate credentials.
• Google Analytics: Deployed to monitor visitor counts and site interaction statistics. This data is aggregated and does not contain personal names or registration logs.
• Payment Gateways: Gateways (Razorpay/Stripe) set cookies to process payments and verify transaction security parameters.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to block all cookies, accept only certain cookies, or delete cookies when you close your browser.

Please note that if you disable or reject essential cookies, you may experience functional issues: you will be unable to log in, your coding progress in virtual labs will not be saved, and the AI Proctoring System may reject your assessment session due to lack of security tokens.

5. Policy Modifications

EduSkill Group reserves the right to modify this Cookie Policy at any time to reflect updates in tracking technologies or changes in compliance laws. Any modifications will be posted here with an updated "Last Updated" date at the top.
