Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 2026
Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how UrbanFlex uses cookies and similar technologies on our educational platform. We are committed to transparency about our data practices and use only essential cookies required for basic website functionality.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website operators.
Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, while session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
Our Cookie Usage
Essential Cookies Only
UrbanFlex uses only essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the basic functionality of our educational platform. These cookies enable core features such as maintaining your session as you navigate between pages.
We do not use:
- Analytics or performance cookies to track user behavior
- Advertising or marketing cookies
- Social media cookies
- Third-party tracking cookies
- Targeting or profiling cookies
Specific Cookies We Use
Cookie Consent Cookie: A cookie that remembers your acceptance of our cookie notice. This prevents the cookie banner from appearing on every page visit after you have acknowledged it.
- Name: cookiesAccepted
- Purpose: Store your cookie consent preference
- Type: Persistent
- Storage: Local browser storage
Session Management: Basic session cookies that enable the website to function properly as you navigate between pages.
- Purpose: Maintain basic site functionality
- Type: Session cookies (deleted when browser closes)
Legal Basis for Cookie Use
Essential cookies are used based on our legitimate interest in providing a functional website. Under European data protection law, consent is not required for cookies that are strictly necessary for the provision of an online service explicitly requested by the user.
The cookies we use fall into this category of strictly necessary cookies, as they are required for basic website operation and do not collect personal information for tracking or marketing purposes.
How to Control Cookies
Browser Settings
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View what cookies are stored on your device
- Delete cookies from your device
- Block all cookies or specific cookies
- Set preferences for different websites
Browser-Specific Instructions
Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
Impact of Disabling Cookies
Because we use only essential cookies required for basic functionality, disabling cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of our website. However, you will still be able to access most educational content.
If you disable the cookie consent cookie, the cookie notice banner will reappear on subsequent visits, as the website will not remember your previous acceptance.
Third-Party Services
We do not use third-party analytics services, advertising platforms, or social media integrations that would place cookies on your device. Our educational platform operates independently without external tracking or data collection services.
The Bootstrap framework and jQuery library loaded from CDN do not set tracking cookies. These are purely functional resources that help the website display properly across different devices and browsers.
Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly use cookies to collect information from children. The essential cookies we use do not collect personal information and serve only functional purposes.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The date of the most recent revision will be indicated at the top of this policy.
If we make material changes that affect cookie usage, we will provide prominent notice on our website. Continued use of the platform after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. Because we do not use tracking cookies or analytics, our website does not respond to Do Not Track signals. However, we inherently respect user privacy by not tracking activities regardless of browser settings.
Data Protection and Privacy
Our minimal use of cookies reflects our commitment to user privacy. By limiting cookies to only those essential for basic functionality, we minimize data collection and respect your right to browse educational content without extensive tracking.
For more information about how we handle data, please review our Privacy Policy.
Consent Mode v2 Compliance
Our cookie implementation is designed to comply with Google Consent Mode v2 requirements. Essential cookies used for basic site functionality are clearly identified and do not require explicit consent under applicable regulations, as they are strictly necessary for the service requested by the user.
We do not use cookies for:
- Analytics or measurement
- Advertising or remarketing
- Personalization beyond basic functionality
- User profiling or behavior tracking
International Considerations
Our cookie practices comply with European Union data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive. As we use only essential cookies that do not collect personal data for tracking purposes, our practices meet the strictest international privacy standards.
Your Rights
Under applicable data protection laws, you have rights regarding how your data is processed, including data stored in cookies. Since we use only essential cookies that do not collect personal information, these rights have limited application to our cookie usage.
However, you always maintain the right to:
- Control cookie settings through your browser
- Delete cookies from your device at any time
- Access information about what cookies are stored
- Object to cookie usage (though this may affect site functionality)
