This Cookie Policy explains how Dalati English uses cookies and similar storage technologies when you visit our website. We believe in complete transparency regarding the data technologies operating on our platform.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit a webpage. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferred settings, so you do not have to reconfigure them each time you navigate the site.
Local Storage (HTML5) is a modern web browser technology that allows web applications to store small amounts of data locally on your device with no expiration date, ensuring instant loading of visual preferences.
2. How We Use Cookies & Storage Technologies
We classify the storage technologies on Dalati English into the following functional categories:
A. Strictly Necessary & Functional Preferences
These are essential for core site usability. We use local storage (specifically the dalati-theme key) exclusively to remember whether you selected Dark Mode or Light Mode. This prevents jarring screen flashes (FOUC) when you navigate between lessons. No personally identifying details are stored.
B. Third-Party Embedded Media Cookies
Many of our lessons feature embedded educational videos from YouTube (e.g. podcast episodes, course modules). When you interact with or view these embedded players, YouTube/Google may place third-party cookies or session identifiers on your device to track video metrics, save user playback settings, and deliver tailored recommendations according to Google's Privacy Policy.
C. Advertising Technologies (Future Integration)
To maintain our educational content free and accessible to all students, Dalati English may integrate advertising networks such as Google AdSense or Ezoic in the future. When enabled, these advertising partners may place and read cookies on your browser or use web beacons to gather information during ad serving (such as frequency capping and contextual interest matching).
3. How You Can Manage or Disable Cookies
You have full control over your cookie settings. You can instruct your browser to block all cookies, accept only certain cookies, or delete cookies that have already been set.

You can also opt out of personalized interest-based advertising via the following consumer choice portals:

Please note: Disabling essential cookies or clearing browser local storage may reset your selected visual theme (switching back to default light theme) or affect playback capabilities of embedded educational videos.
4. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may revise this Cookie Policy occasionally to reflect updates in web technologies, operational requirements, or legal standards. Any revisions will be published here with an updated revision date.
