5. Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings:

- Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
- Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies
Note: Blocking essential cookies will prevent you from using the AI Assessor system, as authentication and session management require cookies to function.
6. LocalStorage
In addition to cookies, we use browser LocalStorage for:
- Storing user preference data (e.g., dismissed banners)
- Caching non-sensitive application state
LocalStorage data remains on your device until manually cleared and is not transmitted to our servers.
