1. Introduction and Your Consent
This detailed Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Test Gyani (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, TestGyani.com (the “Site”), and the extensive choices you have regarding them. This policy is an integral part of our broader Privacy Policy and is designed to ensure compliance with international legal standards, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA).
By clicking “Accept All” on our cookie banner, or by continuing to use the Site after being notified, you consent to the placement of cookies on your device, except where local law requires explicit opt-in consent for non-essential cookies. Where required, we employ a mechanism that blocks non-essential cookies until you provide affirmative consent.
2. What are Cookies and Why We Use Them
A cookie is a small text file containing an alphanumeric identifier that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. These files are widely used because they allow a website to “remember” your device and your preferences, which is critical for smooth functioning and delivering a personalized experience tailored to your educational and career development interests.
A. Classification by Duration
- Session Cookies: These are temporary and are automatically deleted from your device when you close your browser. We use them for essential functions like remembering your login session as you navigate through different study notes pages.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period, ranging from a few hours to several months, or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your site preferences (e-content display settings, language choice) and your consent status across multiple visits.
B. Classification by Domain
- First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by the Test Gyani domain (TestGyani.com). They help us personalize your academic and career path suggestions directly.
- Third-Party Cookies: These are set by domains other than the one you are visiting. They are typically used by integrated external services like analytics providers, advertising networks, and social media platforms.
3. Categories of Cookies and Their Purposes
We use cookies to fulfill our mission of supporting workforce development and academic success, grouping them into four distinct categories:
| Cookie Category | Purpose on Test Gyani | Specific Data Collected | Legal Requirement |
| Strictly Necessary Cookies | Essential Functionality: Required for basic site operation, security, and integrity. This includes authenticating user accounts, identifying necessary traffic, and managing your purchasing cart for premium notes. | Session IDs, security tokens, cart contents. | No Consent Required (Exempt under GDPR) |
| Functionality/Preference Cookies | Personalization: Allows the Site to remember your settings and preferences. This may include remembering your preferred university, course type, or language selection for e-content. | User interface settings, academic profile preferences, custom themes. | Consent Required |
| Performance/Analytics Cookies | Site Improvement: Collects aggregated, non-identifying information about how the Site is used. This data helps us monitor traffic, measure the popularity of specific study notes, and optimize our AI-powered learning algorithms. | Time spent on pages, referral sources, error rates, browser type. | Consent Required |
| Marketing/Targeting Cookies | Advertising & Relevance: Used by us and our third-party advertising partners to build a profile of your interests (e.g., interest in future-ready skills or micro-credentials) and display relevant advertisements to you on other websites. | Unique user identifier, tracking across multiple websites, interaction with ads. | Consent Required |
4. Other Tracking Technologies We Use
In addition to standard HTTP cookies, we may use other technologies to collect data for similar purposes. We treat all data collected via these methods with the same diligence as standard cookie data:
- Web Beacons (or Pixel Tags): Tiny, invisible graphic files embedded in web pages or emails. We use them to monitor the activity of users on our Site and to track the success of our career guidance email campaigns (e.g., determining whether an email was opened).
- Local Storage (HTML5): This technology allows websites to store larger amounts of data locally in your browser than traditional cookies, typically for remembering user settings and offline data caching.
- Flash Cookies (Local Shared Objects): These can be used to store user preferences and usage data but are managed through a separate interface from your browser’s regular cookie settings.
5. Your Rights and How to Manage Cookies
We provide you with clear, granular control over the non-essential cookies placed on your device, in compliance with your rights under the GDPR and CCPA/CPRA.
A. Managing Consent via the Site
You can manage your consent status at any time without compromising access to the core e-content. We provide two primary methods:
- Cookie Preference Center (Revisiting Consent): Every page on the Site includes a discreet link, usually in the footer, titled “Cookie Preferences” or “Manage Consent.” Clicking this link reactivates the consent banner, allowing you to easily modify or withdraw your consent for specific cookie categories (e.g., rejecting Marketing cookies while retaining Analytics cookies).
- Initial Consent Banner: When you first visit the Site, the banner ensures prior and explicit consent is obtained before any non-essential cookies are set. Both “Accept” and “Reject” options are presented with equal prominence to ensure consent is freely given and unambiguous.
B. Managing Cookies via Your Browser
You can use your web browser to delete or block specific types of cookies. Instructions for common browsers are as follows (please note these settings may vary by browser version):
| Browser | Steps to Manage/Block Cookies |
| Google Chrome | Settings > Privacy and security > Site Settings > Cookies and site data. |
| Mozilla Firefox | Options > Privacy & Security > History > Use custom settings for history. |
| Microsoft Edge | Settings and more > Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Tracking prevention. |
| Apple Safari | Preferences > Privacy > Block all cookies. |
Important Note on Withdrawal: Withdrawing consent for Marketing or Analytics cookies will prevent us from setting those cookies going forward, but it will not retroactively delete cookies already placed on your device. You must clear your browser’s history and cache to remove pre-existing persistent cookies.
6. Policy Updates and Contact Information
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies we use or due to changes in legal or operational requirements. We encourage users to review this page regularly.
