1. What this covers
Cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and tracking pixels) store or read small pieces of information on your device. This notice lists the ones TutorBoost uses and how to control them. Page statistics from our host, Vercel, are collected without cookies.
2. Your choices
- In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, advertising measurement does not load until you choose Allow in the cookie banner.
- Elsewhere, advertising measurement loads unless you refuse it.
- Everywhere, you can change your choice at any time with Cookie settings in the footer of any page. Refusing removes the advertising scripts from then on.
- A Global Privacy Control signal from your browser is treated as a refusal.
- You can also block or delete cookies in your browser. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop sign-in working.
