1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful analytical information about how their sites are used.

This Cookies Policy explains what cookies we use on the Tibyan Quran Academy website (“Platform”), why we use them, and how you can control or delete them.

By continuing to browse or use our Platform, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. You may change your preferences at any time through your browser settings or our cookie consent tool.

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Enable core platform functionality such as login sessions and class scheduling.
  • Remember your preferences and settings (e.g., language, time zone).
  • Analyze site traffic and understand how visitors interact with our content.
  • Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
  • Improve platform performance and user experience over time.
  • Protect the security of our platform by detecting suspicious activity.

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Platform to function properly. They allow you to log in, navigate the site, and access secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have requested — such as accessing your student dashboard or joining a class — cannot be provided.

Legal basis: Legitimate interest — these cannot be disabled.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Platform — for example, which pages are visited most often and whether users receive error messages. The data is aggregated and anonymous; it does not identify individual users. We use this information to improve how our website works.

Providers may include:

  • Vercel Analytics: Measures web performance and Core Web Vitals.

Legal basis: Consent.

3.3 Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow the Platform to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or time zone) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or using a live chat widget.

Legal basis: Consent.

3.4 Marketing and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission.

These may include cookies set by:

  • Facebook Pixel / Meta: Tracks conversions from Facebook ads.
  • Google Ads: Enables remarketing and conversion tracking.

Legal basis: Consent.

3.5 Third-Party Cookies

Some pages on our Platform embed content from third-party services such as YouTube (for educational videos), Google Maps, WhatsApp, or social media widgets. These third parties may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies and recommend reviewing the respective privacy and cookie policies of those services.

5. Session vs. Persistent Cookies

Cookies on our Platform are either:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary and are automatically deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to carry information across pages of our Platform during a single visit.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period (as defined in each cookie) even after you close your browser. They are activated each time you visit our Platform and remember your preferences across sessions.

6. How to Manage and Control Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (except strictly necessary ones). You can manage your cookie preferences through:

6.1 Browser Settings

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals. Our Platform does not currently alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals, but we will update this policy if a standard is adopted.

8. Cookies and International Users

As an international platform, students accessing our services from the European Union (EU), United Kingdom (UK), and other jurisdictions with specific cookie laws are entitled to enhanced rights and controls under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the ePrivacy Directive, and similar legislation.

For users in these regions, we obtain explicit consent before placing any non-essential cookies on your device. You may withdraw this consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of any prior processing.
