This Cookie Policy explains how FlexElement uses cookies and similar technologies on our educational website. We are committed to transparency regarding our data practices and minimal cookie usage.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They serve various purposes, from enabling basic functionality to tracking user behavior across sites.

Our Cookie Practice

FlexElement uses only essential cookies necessary for basic website functionality. We do not use:

  • Tracking cookies
  • Analytics cookies
  • Advertising cookies
  • Social media cookies
  • Third-party marketing cookies

This cookie is stored in your browser's local storage and contains only a boolean value indicating you have viewed the cookie notice.

Session Cookies

Our website may use temporary session cookies to maintain state during your visit. These cookies:

  • Are automatically deleted when you close your browser
  • Contain no personally identifiable information
  • Are necessary for proper page navigation
  • Cannot be used to track you across websites

What We Do NOT Do

  • Share cookie data with third parties for advertising
  • Use cookies for remarketing or targeted advertising
  • Employ analytics services that track individual users
  • Integrate third-party tracking technologies

Legal Basis Under GDPR

Our use of essential cookies is based on legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) as these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function properly and provide the service you have requested.

Essential cookies do not require explicit consent under GDPR Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive, as they are necessary for the provision of the service.

Managing Cookies

While our essential cookies are necessary for basic functionality, you have control over cookies through your browser settings:

  • View cookies stored on your device
  • Delete cookies individually or entirely

Local Storage

In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to maintain the cookie consent preference. Local storage:
