Cookie Policy | SkillsCatalyst

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit websites. They allow web applications to remember your login session, editor settings, and active learning progress across page reloads without requiring you to re-authenticate on every action.

2. Cookies We Use on SkillsCatalyst

SkillsCatalyst strictly avoids invasive tracking cookies and third-party advertising cookies. We only deploy cookies essential to your student experience:

A. Essential Authentication & Security Cookies

Strictly Required

These cookies store encrypted session identifiers and CSRF prevention tokens. They allow you to stay securely logged into your student dashboard, view your roadmaps, and submit solutions without interruption.

Examples: sb-auth-token, sc_session_id, csrf_guard

B. Code Editor & UI Preference Cookies

Functional

These remember your preferred coding language (Python, C++, Java, JavaScript), Monaco code editor theme, and font size so your workspace is instantly ready each time you practice.

Examples: sc_editor_lang, sc_theme_mode, sc_panel_layout

C. Anonymous System Performance Cookies

Performance

Aggregated telemetry to measure compiler execution speed and page load responsiveness. This telemetry contains zero personally identifiable information (PII) and is never shared with external ad platforms.

3. Zero Third-Party Advertising Cookies

SkillsCatalyst does not host third-party advertisement networks, tracking pixels, or cross-site tracking cookies. We are an education and career platform, not an advertising broker.

4. Managing & Disabling Cookies

You can control or delete cookies directly through your browser settings. Please note that disabling strictly necessary authentication cookies will prevent you from signing in or saving coding progress.
