1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — for example, your language preference or whether you have accepted the cookie notice — so the site can work more helpfully for you when you return.
Cookies cannot run programmes or deliver viruses. They are simply a lightweight way for a site to hold a small amount of information on your device.
2. How We Use Cookies
Ilmu Nexus uses cookies to:
- Keep our website working correctly (essential operation)
- Remember your cookie preferences so we do not ask you again on each visit
- Understand which pages are visited most and how visitors move through the site (analytics)
- Measure the reach of our outreach efforts, where you have agreed to that (marketing)
We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or to track you across unrelated third-party websites.
