3. Cookies and Local Storage

We use essential session cookies to maintain signed-in sessions and protect forms. If Google AdSense is enabled in our site settings, Google may use cookies or similar storage for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, and personalisation where permitted.

You can control cookies through your browser. Blocking essential cookies may prevent account and saved-scholarship features from working. Google advertising preferences are available through My Ad Center.

4. Advertising and Third-Party Services

Google AdSense scripts and ads are loaded only when an administrator enables AdSense in site settings. If enabled, Google and its advertising partners may process device information, IP addresses, cookie identifiers, and interactions with ads in accordance with their own privacy policies. We do not currently load Google Analytics.

Advertising does not influence which scholarships we publish or how we describe them. We do not sell personal data.

5. External Links

Our website contains links to scholarship providers and application services. We are not responsible for the privacy or cookie practices of external websites. Review their policies before submitting personal documents.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information. Passwords are stored using secure hashing. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

7. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. Newsletter subscribers are retained until they unsubscribe. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information. You may also withdraw consent for newsletter communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email or contacting us directly.
