Cookie Policy
Last updated: 9 September 2026
Cookies are small files a site stores in your browser. Here is exactly what we store, why, and how to change your mind at any time.
What we use
| Cookie | Category | Set by | Lifetime | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Session / authentication | Strictly necessary | NISM Professor | Session – 30 days | Keeps you signed in and protects against request forgery. Cannot be disabled without breaking sign-in. |
| np_consent | Strictly necessary | NISM Professor | 6 months | Remembers the cookie choice you made on this banner, so we do not ask again. |
| Analytics | Optional | Up to 2 years | Aggregate measurement — which lessons get finished, where people drop off. Off unless you allow it. | |
| Advertising | Optional | Google and partners | Up to 2 years | Serves ads, limits repetition and measures performance. Off unless you allow it. Never active on timed exam screens. |
What happens before you choose
Until you make a choice, advertising and analytics cookies are switched off. We implement Google Consent Mode v2, which means Google’s tags are told to deny ad and analytics storage by default and are only granted permission after you agree. Nothing optional is set behind your back.
Third-party cookies
When you allow advertising, third-party vendors including Google use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info/choices, independently of the choice you make here.
Controlling cookies in your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies in its settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop you being able to sign in, because there would be no way for the site to remember you between pages.
