Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 2025
When you visit intellect-voltis.com, we use small data files to make your experience smoother and more relevant. This page explains what these files are, why we use them, and how you can manage them.
We're committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data. If something here isn't clear, reach out—we're happy to explain further.
What Are Cookies, Really?
Cookies are tiny text files that get saved on your device when you browse websites. They help the site remember things like your preferences or login status. Most modern websites rely on them to function properly.
Some cookies stick around for months or years, while others disappear the moment you close your browser. We use both types depending on what we need them to do.
Types of Cookies We Use
Not all cookies serve the same purpose. Here's a breakdown of what we use and why each type matters.
Essential Cookies
These are the ones that keep the site working. Without them, basic features like navigation and secure pages wouldn't function. We can't disable these because they're necessary for the site to operate.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices—things like language preferences or customised settings. They make your visits more convenient by storing what you've selected before.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand how people interact with our site. They tell us which pages get the most traffic, where visitors drop off, and how we can improve the overall experience. The data is anonymous.
Marketing Cookies
These track your browsing across different sites to show you relevant content and ads. They help us measure campaign effectiveness and avoid showing you the same ad repeatedly.
How We Actually Use This Data
We track visitor behaviour to spot patterns. For instance, if most people leave the site after viewing a specific page, that tells us something might be confusing or broken there.
Marketing cookies let us know if someone who clicked an ad eventually signed up for a course. That information helps us figure out which campaigns are worth continuing and which aren't delivering value.
We don't sell your data to third parties. The information we collect stays within our systems or goes to trusted analytics partners who help us make sense of it.
Third-Party Services
Some cookies come from external tools we use, like Google Analytics or email marketing platforms. These services have their own policies, and we recommend reviewing them if you want more detail on how they handle data.
- Google Analytics for site traffic analysis
- Marketing automation tools for email campaigns
- Social media platforms for content sharing features
- Payment processors for secure transactions
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have control over which cookies get stored on your device. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings menu. Keep in mind that blocking certain types might affect how the site works for you.
Here's where to find cookie settings in popular browsers:
How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay on your device for a set period—usually between 30 days and two years, depending on their purpose.
Analytical data is typically stored for 26 months before it's automatically deleted. Marketing cookies might last up to 13 months to track campaign performance across longer time frames.
Changes to This Policy
We update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in how we use cookies or to comply with new regulations. When we make significant updates, we'll note the revision date at the top of this page.
It's worth checking back once in a while, especially if you're particular about how your data gets used. We try to keep things as straightforward as possible.
