Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 2025
At Elphx Trisk, we're pretty straightforward about how our site works. This page explains what cookies are, why we use them, and what you can do if you'd rather not have them tracking your visit.
We know policy pages can be tedious. We've tried to keep this readable and honest.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help the site remember things about your visit—like your preferences or what page you were on.
They don't contain viruses or malware. Most are harmless. Some are actually helpful. But we get why people want control over them.
How We Use Tracking Technologies
Our site uses a few different types of cookies. Not all at once, and not all the time. Here's what you might encounter on elphxtrisk.life:
Essential Cookies
These keep the site functioning. Without them, certain features just won't work. We're talking basic stuff—like remembering you're logged in or keeping items in your cart if we add shopping features later.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices. Language preferences, region settings, that sort of thing. They make your experience smoother on repeat visits.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how people use our site. Which pages get visited most? Where do people drop off? This helps us improve the learning experience for esports beginners.
Marketing Cookies
These track your journey across sites. They help us show relevant ads and measure campaign effectiveness. You can opt out of these—more on that below.
Specific Cookies on Our Site
Here's a breakdown of what actually gets stored when you browse elphxtrisk.life:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| session_id | Maintains your session while browsing | Session only |
| user_preferences | Stores language and display settings | 1 year |
| analytics_token | Tracks page visits and user flow | 2 years |
| marketing_id | Enables targeted advertising | 6 months |
| consent_status | Records your cookie preferences | 1 year |
Why We Track This Information
Let's be real—tracking helps us run a better education platform. But it's not just about us collecting data for the sake of it.
We use tracking to:
- Understand which esports topics get the most interest from Egyptian learners
- Identify technical issues before they affect too many students
- Personalize content recommendations based on your browsing patterns
- Measure how effective our teaching approach is
- Keep spam and fraudulent activity off the platform
- Remember your login status so you don't have to sign in constantly
Some of this requires cookies. Some of it happens server-side. Either way, we're not selling your data to third parties or doing anything sketchy with it.
How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Different cookies stick around for different lengths of time. Here's the general approach:
Session Cookies
These disappear when you close your browser. They're temporary by design and don't leave traces on your device afterward.
Short-Term Cookies
These last anywhere from a few days to six months. Usually tied to specific campaigns or temporary features we're testing.
Long-Term Cookies
Some cookies stay for up to two years. These help us recognize returning visitors and maintain preferences over extended periods.
You can clear all cookies manually through your browser settings at any time. That resets everything.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're not stuck with our defaults. Every major browser gives you control over cookies. You can block them entirely, allow only certain types, or delete them after each session.
Browser-Specific Instructions
Each browser handles cookies a bit differently. Here's where to find the settings:
Heads up: Blocking all cookies might break parts of our site. Some features require cookies to function properly. If something stops working after you change your settings, that's probably why.
Third-Party Cookies
We don't control every cookie on this site. Some come from external services we use—analytics platforms, video players, that kind of thing.
These third parties have their own privacy policies. We try to work with reputable services, but you should know they're collecting data too. If you want to block third-party cookies specifically, most browsers have a setting for that.
Changes to This Policy
We update this page occasionally when our tracking practices change or when privacy regulations require it. The date at the top shows when we last revised it.
If we make significant changes, we'll probably add a notice on the homepage. But realistically, you should check back here once in a while if you care about this stuff.
