Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information about how the site is being used.

Cookies are not programs and cannot execute code or carry viruses. They contain only text and can only be read by the server that set them. Cookies may be "session cookies," which expire when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or navigating between pages. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but some parts of the site may not work as a result. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and do not require your consent under applicable law.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often and whether users encounter error messages. All information collected is aggregated and anonymized. We use this data to improve the site's performance and usability. These cookies are only placed where you have given your consent.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your cookie consent decision. They help us provide a more personalized experience and reduce the need to re-enter preferences on repeat visits. These are set after your initial interaction with our consent banner.

Specific Cookies on This Site

The following describes the cookies currently in use on xezawi.info:

This list is updated when new cookies are introduced or existing ones change. We do not use advertising or targeting cookies.

Third-Party Cookies

Some features on xezawi.info may be provided by third parties, such as embedded maps from Google Maps. These third parties may set their own cookies when you interact with those features. We do not control the cookies set by third parties, and their use is subject to those parties' own privacy and cookie policies.

Where we embed third-party content, we make reasonable efforts to ensure those providers meet appropriate data protection standards. However, we encourage you to review the cookie and privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with through our site.

Your Consent

When you first visit xezawi.info, a cookie banner appears at the top of the page. You may accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or open the settings panel to make granular choices by category. Strictly necessary cookies are placed without consent as they are required for the site to function.

Your consent preference is stored in the xzw_consent cookie so that we do not need to ask you again on subsequent visits. You may change your preferences at any time by using the cookie settings option on our site.

For US residents, our cookie practices are designed to be consistent with applicable state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). We do not sell personal information collected through cookies.

Managing Your Preferences

You can update your cookie preferences at any time. To do so, look for the cookie settings option available through our site's cookie banner. Clicking "Customize" opens a modal where you can enable or disable each non-essential cookie category individually. Changes take effect immediately and are saved to your device.

To withdraw consent entirely and remove existing cookies, you can use your browser settings (see below) in addition to updating your preferences through our banner.

Browser-Level Controls

All major browsers provide controls that allow you to view, manage, block, and delete cookies. The method varies by browser. You can typically find these settings under Privacy or Security in your browser's settings menu. Guidance for common browsers:

• Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data

You can also opt out of certain analytics services by using browser extensions designed for that purpose. Note that browser-level cookie deletion will remove your stored consent preference, and our banner will appear again on your next visit.

Impact of Disabling Cookies

Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent certain parts of the website from functioning correctly. Disabling analytics cookies means we will not receive aggregated data about your visit, which is used only to improve the site. Disabling preference cookies means the site may not remember your settings between visits.

We have designed the site to be as functional as possible even with non-essential cookies disabled. Your ability to access educational content is not dependent on accepting analytics or preference cookies.

Updates to This Policy

We review and update this Cookie Policy periodically, particularly when we add new features or when applicable laws change. The revision date at the top of this page reflects the most recent update. Continued use of the website after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

If we make significant changes to how we use cookies, we will notify you through the cookie consent banner on your next visit.
