Cookies help us operate our site effectively, understand how visitors use our resources, and improve your browsing experience. This document details what cookies are, the types we use, why we use them, and how you can manage or disable them.

Your privacy and consent are central to our approach. We strive to remain transparent about the data we collect and to comply fully with global data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the ePrivacy Directive, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other international frameworks.

Understanding Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. They store information about your browsing behavior, preferences, and device to help improve website performance and personalize user experiences.

Cookies are not harmful software; they cannot read data from your device or install viruses. However, they do allow websites to recognize returning users and retain useful settings between visits.

There are generally two types of cookies based on duration:

  • Session cookies, which are temporary and deleted when you close your browser.

  • Persistent cookies, which remain stored until manually deleted or they expire automatically after a set period.

Cookies may also be categorized by ownership:

  • First-party cookies, placed directly by our website.

  • Third-party cookies, set by external services or partners integrated into the site, such as analytics tools or affiliate programs.

Why We Use Cookies

  • Performance: Ensuring pages load correctly and maintain stability.

  • Affiliate Tracking: Verifying when visitors click or purchase through affiliate links.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are vital for the basic functioning of the website. They enable core operations such as navigation, page loading, and security verification.

Without them, certain sections of the website may not work properly. These cookies do not store personal data.

Examples of what essential cookies may do:

  • Maintain your session when browsing pages.

  • Record cookie consent preferences.

  • Enable form submissions and security checks.

Disabling these cookies may break site functionality.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

Performance cookies collect anonymous data about how visitors use the site—such as which pages are most popular, how long users stay, and what links they click.

We typically use Google Analytics or equivalent tools for this purpose. Analytics cookies help us understand user interests, identify usability issues, and create more valuable content.

All analytics data is aggregated and anonymized. No personal identifying information is collected or shared.

You can opt out of analytics tracking at any time via your browser settings or by using Google’s opt-out browser add-on.

Preference Cookies

These cookies allow us to remember your preferences and personalize your experience. For example, they may remember:

  • Your language choice.

  • Region-based content or currency display.

  • Past interactions with pop-ups or notifications.

Preference cookies make your browsing smoother and more convenient.

Affiliate and Advertising Cookies

EduWork by Ofrebo may include affiliate links to partner programs, universities, or educational platforms. When you click an affiliate link, a cookie is placed on your browser to track the referral and confirm that a commission should be attributed to our site if you make a purchase or sign up through that link.

Affiliate cookies:

  • Do not collect personal identifying data.

  • Only record anonymous click and conversion events.

  • Are managed by trusted third-party networks that comply with privacy regulations.

We do not host intrusive ads or engage in behavioral profiling. Our partnerships are strictly educational and ethically curated.

Security and Anti-Spam Cookies

Some cookies help prevent fraudulent activities or spam submissions (for example, through Google reCAPTCHA). These ensure that our contact forms and comment sections remain safe for genuine users.

Such cookies may temporarily store technical information about user behavior to verify that interactions come from humans, not bots.

Third-Party Cookies and External Tools

EduWork by Ofrebo may integrate trusted third-party services that also use cookies. These services help us analyze traffic, deliver affiliate programs, or embed content such as videos or maps.

Common examples include:

  • Google Analytics (traffic analysis)

  • Google reCAPTCHA (spam protection)

  • Affiliate networks (link tracking)

  • YouTube or Vimeo (video embeds)

Each third-party provider operates under its own privacy policy. We recommend reviewing their terms to understand how they handle your data. EduWork by Ofrebo does not control or store third-party cookies directly.
