1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or web application. Cookies are widely used by online service providers to facilitate session authorization, remember user preferences, safeguard forms against forgery, and provide analytics metadata.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several operational reasons:
- To keep you logged into the IntelliAssess Teacher or Student dashboards securely.
- To prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks on evaluation inputs and settings configurations.
- To securely process subscription payments and check checkout state logs via Stripe.
- To remember user state details, such as sidebar navigation toggles, page filtration selections, and draft assessment models.
3. Types of Cookies We Deploy
The specific categories of cookies served through our application include:
A. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our platform and to use some of its features, such as accessing secure areas, protecting form submissions, and authorizing proctoring streams.
B. Functional & Preference Cookies
These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our web app but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like remembered dashboard states) may become unavailable.
C. Payment & Security Cookies
Our payment gateway (Stripe) sets cookies to verify account authorizations, prevent fraudulent transactions during plan subscriptions, and monitor payment page loading statistics.
