Cookie Policy

Upon revisiting the website, your browser transmits these files back to the server, allowing the site to identify your activity session, retain your settings or assess usage patterns across pages. Equivalent mechanisms - including local storage, session storage and small tracking pixels - function similarly, and this document treats them uniformly as "cookies".

A cookie typically includes the domain that created it, a data value (frequently a unique code) and an expiration time. Cookies are unable to access other data on your device and are not executable software.

Strictly necessary cookies

These keep the site usable: they maintain your session while you move between pages, balance traffic across servers, protect forms against automated abuse and remember the cookie choices you have already made. They do not build a profile of you and cannot be switched off through our banner, because without them core functions such as signing in would fail.

Preference (functionality) cookies

These remember the settings you choose - for example the interface language, a region, a display preference or whether you have dismissed an informational notice. They make the site more convenient but are not essential; if you refuse them, the site still works and simply asks for your preferences again on each visit.

Analytics (performance) cookies

These enable us to track page visits, identify which content receives traffic, measure visit duration and identify technical issues. The data remains anonymized: it shows us when content performs well or slowly, not personal information about visitors. We apply this information to resolve issues and enhance site organization.

Marketing (advertising) cookies

These record that you arrived from a particular campaign or advertisement, help avoid showing you the same message repeatedly, and measure whether a campaign led to a sign-up. They may be read by advertising partners on other websites. They are only set with your explicit consent.

Disabling mandatory cookies will restrict site functionality: you may find yourself unable to maintain login status, send form data or execute protected transactions. Disabling settings cookies prevents preferences such as language choice from being saved. Disabling performance measurement or advertising cookies does not impact how the site operates - you simply will not be included in our traffic reports and marketing analytics.

Some cookies are set by service providers acting on our behalf, for example providers of web analytics, content delivery, fraud prevention or advertising measurement. These providers may read their own cookies when you visit other sites that use the same services. We do not control the content of third-party cookies; their use of the data they collect is governed by their own privacy and cookie notices.

If a third-party cookie is not mandatory for operation, it is only set following your approval via the cookie notification. To request a current list of vendors and services, reach out to our help desk and we will furnish the latest information.

Through our banner

Use the cookie banner or the cookie settings link on the site to accept or reject the preference, analytics and marketing categories. Rejecting a category stops new cookies of that type from being written; cookies already stored can be cleared through your browser.

Through your browser

All major browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete them individually or entirely, block cookies from specific sites, block all third-party cookies, or delete everything automatically when the browser closes. You will normally find these controls under a menu named “Settings”, then “Privacy”, “Privacy and security”, “Site permissions” or “Cookies and site data”. Mobile browsers offer the same options in their settings screens, and mobile operating systems provide separate controls for advertising identifiers.

Private browsing

Opening the site in a private or incognito window means most cookies are discarded when you close that window, though this does not prevent them from being set during your visit.

TopBitSchool deploys cookies to maintain website security and operation, to retain your selected options, to evaluate which sections provide value, and - where you have approved - to assess the results of our advertising efforts. Mandatory cookies activate immediately upon site access since operation depends on them. All remaining types are enabled only following your approval, which you may revoke at any time.

Session cookies exist only while your browser window is open and are erased automatically when you close it. Persistent cookies remain until their expiry date or until you delete them; on this site their lifetimes range from a few days to roughly two years, depending on the purpose. The exact expiry of an individual cookie can always be inspected in your browser’s storage settings.

We keep the record of your consent choices for a limited period so that the banner does not reappear at every visit; after that period we will ask again.

We review this policy periodically and update it when the cookies we use, the technologies behind them or the applicable rules change. The current version is always published on this page; material changes will be signalled on the site or through the cookie banner, and continued use after the update means the revised policy applies.

Should you have concerns regarding this document, request specifics about a particular cookie or wish to assert a privacy-related entitlement, please contact our help desk using the contact page. Related documents are listed in the footer of every page, including our Privacy Policy.
