1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely utilized to enable website functionality, enhance security, recall user preferences, and provide aggregated analytical information to website operators.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

We organize our cookies and client-side storage keys into two distinct categories:

  • Strictly Essential Cookies & Storage: Necessary for the technical operation and security of the website. These cannot be disabled through our consent banner as core functions (such as remembering your consent choice or processing form validations) rely on them.
  • Analytical & Performance Cookies: Used to understand aggregated visitor traffic, popular syllabus guides, and bounce rates without collecting personally identifying credentials.

3. Comprehensive Cookies & Local Storage Table

Storage Item / Cookie Category Specific Purpose Duration Provider
datatrailbase_cookie_consent Essential Stores the user's choice to accept or reject non-essential cookie tracking. 12 Months First-Party (datatrailbase.click)

_dtb_analytics Analytics Anonymized measurement of page engagement and syllabus navigation flow. 90 Days First-Party (Anonymized)

4. Managing & Disabling Cookies

You can control your cookie preferences at any time:

  • Through Our Banner: When you first load our website, you may select "Essential Only" to block all non-essential analytical tracking.
  • Through Your Browser: Most modern browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) allow you to review, block, or delete cookies through their settings menu. Please consult your browser's documentation for exact instructions.

5. Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you choose to disable or block all cookies via your browser settings, the vast majority of our educational syllabus pages, blog articles, and tuition guides will continue to function normally. However, you may be presented with our cookie consent prompt on every visit, and form submission confirmation states may need manual refresh.

6. Cross-Reference to Privacy Policy

For broader information regarding how we safeguard your personal data, your legal rights under Korean PIPA, and our retention policies, please visit our Privacy Policy.
