Cookie Policy
Last updated: 22 August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Diploomate ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website (the "Service"). This policy is provided to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can control them. For more details about how we handle your personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit it. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them every time you visit the site or move from one page to another. Cookies are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide reporting and personalization. Cookies do not harm your device and do not contain viruses.
In addition to cookies, we may also use web beacons, pixel tags, local storage, and similar technologies that function in a comparable way. For simplicity, this policy refers to all of these as "cookies".
Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies:
- Essential cookies: These are necessary for the Service to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your language preference, logging in, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Service will not work.
- Preference cookies: These enable the Service to remember your choices (such as your selected language) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.
- Analytics cookies: These allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Service. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site.
- Advertising cookies: These may be set on our site by our advertising partners, including Google AdSense, to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
Google AdSense Cookies
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners use cookies (such as the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads to our users based on their visits to this site and other sites on the Internet. Specifically, Google may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Store and access information on your device (such as cookie identifiers and device-specific information).
- Collect information about your interactions with ads and content, including impressions and clicks.
- Use device-specific information such as IP address, browser type, and approximate location to serve and measure ads.
- Personalize the ads you see based on your activity and interests.
For more information about how Google uses data when you use our Service, see Google's Privacy Policy and the Google AdSense Privacy Policy requirements.
Cookie Consent
When you first visit our Service, we display a cookie consent banner asking you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored so you are not asked again. If you are located in the European Union, the European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom, we will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device, as required by the ePrivacy Directive (Cookie Law) and the GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your cookies or adjusting your browser settings.
