3. Types of cookies we use

A. Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for authentication, session management, security controls, user account access, and load balancing. Without them, certain services may not function properly. They cannot generally be disabled through cookie preferences.

B. Functional cookies

These cookies improve usability and convenience by remembering language preferences, accessibility settings, display preferences, dashboard customisations, and region settings.

These cookies help us understand page visits, navigation behaviour, feature usage, error reporting, and Platform performance. Information collected is generally aggregated and used to improve services.

D. Security cookies

These cookies support login verification, suspicious activity detection, session protection, abuse prevention, and help protect users and institutions from security threats.

E. Marketing cookies

Where applicable and permitted by law, marketing cookies may measure campaign effectiveness, deliver relevant communications, and help us understand engagement with content. They will only be used in accordance with applicable consent requirements.

4. Third-party cookies

Certain services integrated into NIDOOL may place cookies on user devices, including analytics providers, video hosting services, payment processors, authentication providers, and communication services.

Third-party providers maintain their own privacy and cookie policies. NIDOOL does not control third-party cookie practices. Users are encouraged to review those policies independently.

5. How long cookies remain on your device

A. Session cookies

Session cookies are deleted when the browser is closed.

B. Persistent cookies

Persistent cookies remain on a device until they expire, are manually deleted, or browser settings remove them. Retention periods vary depending on the cookie's function.

6. Managing cookie preferences

Users can manage cookie preferences through browser settings, device settings, and Platform cookie preferences where available. Most browsers allow users to view, delete, block, or restrict cookies.

Disabling certain cookies may affect Platform functionality. Some features may not operate correctly if cookies are disabled.

7. Do Not Track signals

Some browsers provide “Do Not Track” settings. Because no universal standard currently exists for interpreting such signals, NIDOOL may not respond to all Do Not Track requests. We continue to monitor industry developments and evolving regulatory guidance.

Where educational services are provided to children, cookies are used only as necessary to support Platform functionality, security, educational delivery, and accessibility. Additional safeguards may apply in accordance with applicable laws and institutional requirements.

9. Changes to this policy

NIDOOL may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on the Platform. Where required by law, additional notice may be provided. Continued use after updates become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
