Last Updated: August 20, 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (browser or system) when you visit a website. They allow a site to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time. We use cookies and similar browser technologies only where necessary to make the Platform function correctly.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and browser storage (such as localStorage) for two purposes:
2.1. Essential Preferences
To remember choices you make, such as your preferred display theme (light or dark) and your preferred language (English or Filipino). These are saved on your own device and are used to preserve your preferences on your next visit.
These cookies are strictly necessary for the features you use and do not require consent.
2.2. Security and Reliability
To maintain the security and reliability of the Platform and to help diagnose technical issues. These cookies are necessary for the Platform to operate safely.
3. Cookies We Do Not Use
We do not use advertising cookies.
We do not use third-party tracking or profiling cookies to build a profile of your interests across websites.
We do not currently use analytics cookies from third parties to track your browsing activity.
4. Managing Cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, or to be prompted before a cookie is set.
Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the way the Platform works, such as preventing your theme or language preferences from being remembered.
5. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, the Platform may use local storage (e.g., localStorage) to store the same type of preferences, such as your theme and language. You can clear this storage through your browser's settings at any time.
6. Third-Party Cookies
The Platform may contain links to third-party websites (including official government portals). These websites have their own cookie and privacy policies, which you should review when visiting them.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date above. Any changes take effect when they are posted.
