Cookie Policy

Last updated: Oct 2025

1. Overview

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Reallab uses them on our platform, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

2. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. They help remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and improve the overall user experience. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and tokens.

3. How We Use Cookies

  • Authentication and session: keeping you signed in and maintaining your session state.
  • Security and anti‑abuse: Cloudflare Turnstile or similar verification to prevent bot activity.
  • Preferences: remembering UI choices such as language and general interface preferences.
  • Performance and reliability: limited, privacy‑conscious metrics to ensure availability of lab environments and learning features.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

  • Strictly necessary: required for core functionality like authentication and security.
  • Functional: enhance the experience by remembering preferences and improving usability.
  • Performance: help us understand reliability at an aggregate level without tracking individual behavior.

5. Specific Cookies and Storage

  • Session tokens: stored temporarily to authenticate requests and maintain sessions.
  • Turnstile tokens: used by Cloudflare Turnstile to verify human interactions.
  • Preferences: local storage values for UI settings and last‑used pages.

6. Third‑Party Technologies

We integrate trusted providers (e.g., OAuth identity providers and email services). Some of their scripts may set cookies or store tokens that are necessary for authentication or security. These providers operate under their own privacy and cookie policies.

7. Managing Cookies

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or clear cookies; note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect core functionality such as logging in or accessing lab environments.

8. Do Not Track

Our platform does not respond to Do Not Track signals at this time. We aim to keep analytics minimal and privacy‑conscious.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via the platform or by email where appropriate.
