Cookie & Data Usage Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences, understand how you interact with our content, and provide a more personalized experience during your visits to gravitonlayerstream.sbs.

Beyond traditional cookies, we also use web beacons, pixel tags, and similar technologies to collect information about your browsing patterns. These tools work together to help us understand which content resonates most with our audience and how we can better serve journalism ethics education.

Think of cookies as your website's memory – they remember that you prefer certain settings, keep track of items you've viewed, and help us show you relevant content based on your interests in journalism and media ethics.

Our tracking technologies serve specific purposes that directly benefit your learning journey. When you're exploring journalism ethics content, we use this data to recommend related articles, suggest relevant courses, and remember where you left off in your studies.

For instance, if you frequently read about media bias, our system learns this preference and highlights similar content when you return. This saves you time searching and ensures you don't miss valuable resources in your areas of interest.

Different types of cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may last from a few days to several years, depending on their purpose.

Essential cookies typically remain active for the duration of your visit, functional cookies might persist for up to a year to remember your preferences, and analytics cookies generally expire after two years. Marketing cookies vary in duration but usually last between 30 days and two years.

We regularly review and delete unnecessary data to minimize storage while maintaining the functionality you expect. Personal information linked to tracking data follows strict retention schedules and is automatically purged when no longer needed.

Some cookies on our site come from third-party services we use to enhance functionality. These might include analytics providers, content delivery networks, or educational technology platforms that support our courses.

Each third-party service has its own privacy policy and cookie practices. While we carefully select partners who share our commitment to data protection, you should review their policies if you want complete information about data handling.

We don't sell your data to third parties, but some services may use aggregated, anonymous information for their own analytics purposes. This helps maintain the free and low-cost educational resources we provide.

As a platform serving users globally, some of your data may be processed in countries other than India. We ensure that any international transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and maintain appropriate security measures.

Cloud services and content delivery networks help us provide fast, reliable access to educational materials worldwide. These services may temporarily store cached data in multiple locations to optimize performance for users in different regions.

We review and update this policy regularly to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Significant changes will be communicated through our website, email notifications, or other appropriate channels.
