Cookie Policy & Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device by your web browser when you visit the Thrive Education Center website. These technologies allow us to ensure secure session handling, remember your language preferences, analyze traffic trends, and optimize our international education platform.

We deploy four primary categories of cookies across our platform:

• Strictly Necessary (Technical) Cookies: Essential for core website operations, security protocols (CSRF tokens, session authentication), and page navigation.
• Functional Cookies: Remember user preferences such as your language choice (AZ/EN/RU) and customized accessibility settings.
• Analytical (Performance) Cookies: Gather aggregated, anonymous data (via Google Analytics 4) regarding visitor interaction, page load speeds, and popular program pathways.
• Marketing & Targeting Cookies: Help deliver relevant updates regarding scholarship deadlines and admissions opportunities based on your academic interests.

Cookies are retained on your device for varying durations depending on their operational classification:
• Session Cookies: Temporary files that are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
• Persistent Cookies: Remain stored on your device for a predetermined period (ranging from 30 days to 1 year) or until you manually clear them.

Our website may embed trusted third-party services (such as Google Analytics, Cloudflare, and Supabase Authentication) that utilize their own tracking cookies for security monitoring and statistical analysis in compliance with their independent privacy terms.

You retain full control over your cookie settings. You can manage, refuse, or delete cookies at any time via your browser settings (Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Cookies). Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may impair key functionalities of our website.
