Cookie Policy
EduGPT currently uses essential cookies and browser storage to keep the app secure and remember learning progress. We do not currently use advertising cookies.
1. What cookies and browser storage are
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. Browser storage, such as local storage, lets a site remember app state on your device. EduGPT uses these tools to support login, security, progress, notes, preferences, and a smoother learning experience.
