This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones SscAce uses, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember information about your visit, like preferences or usage patterns, and are commonly used for analytics, functionality, and advertising. SscAce currently uses cookies only for analytics — we don't run ads or ad-tracking cookies.
2. Cookies We Use
| Cookie | Purpose | Provider | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga, _ga_* | Distinguishes unique visitors for site analytics | Google Analytics | Up to 2 years |
| _gid | Distinguishes visitors for session-level reporting | Google Analytics | 24 hours |
Exact cookie names may change as Google updates Analytics. This table reflects the categories of cookies currently in use, not a guaranteed exhaustive list.
3. Why We Use Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand which articles, resources, and pages are useful to aspirants, how visitors navigate the site, and where to improve. This helps us prioritize what to write and build next. We do not use this data to individually identify you, and we don't share it with advertisers.
4. Managing or Disabling Cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
You can also opt out of Google Analytics specifically using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Disabling cookies won't block your access to our articles, resources, or news content — it only limits the analytics data we receive about your visit.
5. Future Changes
If we introduce mock tests, paid resources, or account logins in the future, we may add functional or session cookies necessary for those features (for example, to keep you logged in). We'll update this policy and the table above before any new cookie types go live.
