Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 15, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how JEElevate uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit and use our AI-powered JEE preparation platform. By using JEElevate, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferences and settings, which can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you. Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies you, but personal information we store about you may be linked to information stored in and obtained from cookies.

2. Cookies We Actually Use

JEElevate uses minimal cookies for essential functions:

NextAuth Session Cookie: Keeps you logged in securely
CSRF Token: Protects against cross-site request forgery
Callback URL: Remembers where to redirect after login
Theme/Preferences: Saves your display settings (if any)

We don't use tracking cookies or advertising cookies. Your study data is stored in our database, not in cookies.

3. Third-Party Services

Some of our service providers may set their own cookies:

Google OAuth: For secure sign-in (only when you use Google login)
Razorpay: During payment processing (temporary session)

These are only active when you use those specific features. We don't use Google Analytics or other tracking services.

4. Why We Need These Cookies

Our minimal cookie usage serves essential purposes:

Keep you logged in between pages
Protect your account from security threats
Remember your session during payment
Ensure the platform works correctly

Without these cookies, you'd have to log in on every page and the platform wouldn't function properly.

5. Cookie Lifespan

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. They are used for maintaining your session while you navigate through our platform. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They help us recognize you when you return and remember your preferences. The specific duration varies depending on the cookie's purpose, but we limit cookie lifespans to what is necessary for their intended function.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have control over cookies and can manage them in several ways. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from all or specific websites. You can typically find these settings in your browser's "Options" or "Preferences" menu. Please note that blocking all cookies may impact your ability to use certain features of JEElevate, particularly those that require you to be logged in.

7. Browser-Specific Cookie Management

You can manage cookies through your browser settings: In Chrome, go to Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data. In Firefox, go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. In Safari, go to Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. In Edge, go to Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies and site permissions. For other browsers, please consult your browser's help documentation.

8. Do Not Track

Since we don't use tracking cookies anyway, "Do Not Track" signals don't affect your JEElevate experience. We only use essential cookies required for the platform to function.

9. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on our website with a new "Last updated" date. Your continued use of JEElevate after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Cookie Policy.
