Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, to work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website's operators.

Cookies can be "session cookies" (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). They can also be "first-party cookies" (set by the website you're visiting) or "third-party cookies" (set by a domain other than the one you're visiting).

How We Use Cookies

Tiyivo uses cookies for a limited set of purposes, all related to the operation and improvement of this educational website. We do not use cookies for targeted advertising or for building behavioral profiles across other websites.

Our use of cookies falls into the following categories: ensuring the technical operation of the site, remembering your preferences (including your cookie consent choices), and understanding how visitors generally navigate and use the site so we can improve the educational experience.

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They do not require your consent and cannot be disabled through our cookie preference tool, as the site cannot operate without them. They include cookies that remember your cookie consent choices so we don't ask you every time you visit.

Examples: consent preference storage (cookie name prefix: tiyivo_consent), session management.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use this data to improve the structure and content of the site. Analytics cookies are only placed with your consent.

Examples: page view tracking, session duration, navigation path analysis. These may be provided by third-party analytics services.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalization, such as remembering your activity context selection within the course content. These cookies are only placed with your consent. Disabling them may mean that certain site features do not work as intended.

Third-Party Cookies

Some pages on tiyivo.xyz may include content from or links to third-party services such as map embeds. These third parties may set their own cookies on your device when you interact with their embedded content. Tiyivo does not control these cookies, and they are subject to the respective third party's own cookie and privacy policies.

We recommend reviewing the cookie policies of any third-party services whose embedded content you interact with on this site.

Managing Your Preferences

When you first visit tiyivo.xyz, you will see a cookie consent notice. This notice allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences by category. Your choices are stored in a strictly necessary cookie so they are remembered on future visits.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings option in the website footer or by clearing the tiyivo_consent cookie from your browser, which will cause the consent notice to reappear on your next visit.

Browser Controls

In addition to our on-site preference tool, most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically set your browser to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you when cookies are being set. The method for doing this varies by browser. Please consult your browser's help documentation for instructions specific to your browser.

Note that browser-level cookie controls apply to all websites, not just tiyivo.xyz, and may affect your experience on other sites you visit.

Impact of Disabling Cookies

Disabling strictly necessary cookies is not possible through our preference tool, as they are required for the site to function. Disabling analytics cookies means we will not be able to collect information about how you use the site, which may limit our ability to improve it over time. Disabling functional cookies may result in some site features not working as intended, such as activity context preferences not being remembered between sessions.

The core educational content of the site remains accessible regardless of your cookie preferences.

Policy Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or changes in our practices. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. We encourage you to check this page periodically.

If we make significant changes to how we use cookies, we may notify you through the cookie consent interface when you next visit the site.
