Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Important: Essential cookies (login, security, assessment sessions) are required for the platform to function. Disabling them through your browser will prevent you from signing in or taking assessments. We cannot provide a working service without these cookies.

How long do cookies last?
Session cookies last only for your current browsing session and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period — our longest-lived cookie is retained for up to 24 hours. See the table above for specific durations.
