Cookies Policy

1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember you between visits and keep you signed in. This policy explains how Balance uses cookies and similar technologies.
2. Essential cookies
These are required for the platform to work. They keep you signed in, remember your session, and protect the service from misuse. Essential cookies cannot be switched off, because the platform would not function without them.
3. Preference cookies
These remember choices you make, such as study preferences or display settings. They improve your experience but are not strictly necessary for the platform to function.
4. Analytics cookies
We use anonymised analytics to understand how the platform is used and to improve it. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
5. Local storage
To track your lesson progress, quiz scores and achievements between visits, Balance stores study data in your browser's local storage. This stays on your device and is removed when you clear your browser data.
6. Managing cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block all cookies, accept only some, or delete them. Blocking essential cookies will stop you from signing in and using the platform.
