Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They're widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners. At exalovarnitha, we use various types of cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your learning experience and provide personalized content.

These files contain data about your preferences, login status, and browsing behavior. When you return to our site, cookies help us recognize you and tailor your experience accordingly. Think of them as digital bookmarks that remember where you left off in your creative journey.

Our photography and lighting courses generate certain cookies automatically when you interact with course materials, complete exercises, or engage with our community features. This information helps us understand which learning modules are most effective and how we can improve your educational experience.

You have complete control over your cookie preferences. Beyond our consent tools above, you can manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Each browser handles cookie management slightly differently, but all major browsers provide options to view, delete, and block cookies.

When you disable certain cookies, some features of our courses may not function properly. For instance, without functional cookies, we can't remember your progress through lighting setups or save your preferred video quality settings. However, you'll still have access to all core educational content.

We respect your privacy choices and will honor your preferences across all your sessions with exalovarnitha. Your consent settings are stored locally on your device and will be remembered for future visits until you choose to modify them.

Most cookies we use are session-based and expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies, which remember your preferences between visits, typically last between 30 days and 2 years depending on their purpose. Course progress cookies persist longer to maintain your learning continuity.

We regularly review and delete unnecessary tracking data to minimize data collection while maintaining service quality. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized after 26 months, while marketing cookies are refreshed every 13 months unless you interact with related content.

All cookie data is encrypted during transmission and stored securely on servers located in Australia. We never sell cookie data to third parties, though we may share anonymized usage statistics with course instructors to help them improve their teaching materials.
