Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, provide security features, and give site operators basic usage information. Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain on your device until they expire or you delete them).
2. Cookies We Use
GraduateHelper uses only strictly essential cookies. We do not use any analytics, tracking, advertising, or third-party cookies. The following cookies are set by our service:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| sessionid | Identifies your authenticated session. This cookie is essential for keeping you logged in as you navigate the site. | Essential | 2 weeks |
| csrftoken | Protects against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. This cookie ensures that form submissions originate from our site and not from a malicious third party. | Essential / Security | 1 year |
3. Cookies We Do Not Use
GraduateHelper does not use any of the following:
- Analytics cookies — we do not use Google Analytics, Mixpanel, or any similar service.
- Advertising cookies — we do not run ads or use retargeting pixels.
- Third-party tracking cookies — we do not embed social media trackers or share browsing data with third parties.
4. Third-Party Resources
Our site loads resources from external content delivery networks (CDNs), such as the Tailwind CSS framework and Google Fonts. These services may set standard HTTP caching headers on your browser to improve loading performance, but they do not set tracking cookies through our site. We have no control over the privacy practices of these CDN providers; please refer to their respective privacy policies for more information.
5. Managing Cookies
Since we only use essential cookies, there is no cookie consent banner. These cookies are strictly necessary for the site to function and cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality (such as logging in and submitting forms). You can delete cookies at any time through your browser settings, but please note that doing so will log you out of GraduateHelper.
6. Changes to This Policy
If we ever introduce new types of cookies (for example, analytics), we will update this policy and, where required, obtain your consent before setting those cookies. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
