Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners. Cookies can be "persistent" (stored until they expire or are deleted) or "session" (temporary, deleted when you close your browser).

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags to achieve similar purposes.

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our platform. Without these cookies, the Services cannot function properly. They enable core features such as:

• Maintaining your session as you navigate between pages.
• Enabling secure login and account access.
• Preventing fraudulent use of login credentials.
• Remembering your privacy and cookie preferences.
• Balancing server load to ensure reliable platform performance.

Because these cookies are essential for the provision of our Services, they cannot be disabled through our platform settings. You may be able to block them through your browser, but doing so will prevent you from accessing or using key features of Nurses Future.

Authentication cookies are used to identify you when you log in to your Nurses Future account and to keep you authenticated during your session. These cookies allow us to:

• Remember that you are logged in as you move between pages.
• Maintain your authenticated state for a reasonable duration so you do not need to log in repeatedly.
• Link your session to your account profile, study progress, and subscription status.
• Enforce security measures such as session expiration and concurrent login limits.

These cookies are essential to the secure operation of your account and are closely related to the Essential cookies described above. Disabling them will log you out and prevent access to authenticated features.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our platform. They collect information in an aggregated and often anonymized form, including:

• Which pages are visited most frequently and for how long.
• How users navigate between different sections of the platform.
• Device and browser types used to access the Services.
• Geographic regions (at a country or city level) from which users access the platform.
• Error rates and performance bottlenecks.

This data allows us to improve the design, content, and functionality of Nurses Future. The information collected through analytics cookies is not used to personally identify you outside of your authenticated session, and we do not sell this data to third parties.

When you choose to sign in or sign up using your Google account, Google may set cookies on your device as part of the OAuth 2.0 authentication process. These cookies are managed by Google and are subject to Google's Privacy Policy and Google's Cookie Policy.

Google Sign-In cookies allow:

• Authentication of your identity through your Google account.
• Seamless login without requiring a separate Nurses Future password.
• Session management by Google during the OAuth handshake.

We do not control these cookies. You can manage them through your Google account settings or browser preferences. If you disable Google cookies, you may still access Nurses Future using email and password registration.

Performance cookies help us monitor and improve the technical performance of our platform. They collect information about:

• Page load times and server response speeds.
• Simulator rendering performance and case study loading behavior.
• Video and interactive content buffering or playback issues.
• JavaScript errors or feature malfunctions encountered by users.

These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information. Their purpose is strictly to ensure that Nurses Future operates smoothly, responsively, and reliably across different devices, browsers, and network conditions.

We work with a small number of trusted third-party service providers who may set cookies on our behalf. These providers include:

• Authentication providers (e.g., Google) for secure social login.
• Analytics providers to help us understand platform usage.
• Payment processors to facilitate secure checkout.
• Email delivery services to send transactional and educational communications.

These third parties are contractually bound to use cookies only for the purposes specified by us and in compliance with applicable data protection laws. We do not allow third parties to use cookies for behavioral advertising or data brokering.

You have the right to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can manage your preferences in the following ways:

• Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these under "Privacy," "Security," or "Cookies" in your browser preferences. You can delete existing cookies, block all cookies, or allow cookies only from trusted sites.
• Google Account Controls: If you use Google Sign-In, you can manage related cookies through your Google account dashboard.
• Do Not Track: We honor browser-level Do Not Track (DNT) signals where technically feasible. When DNT is enabled, non-essential analytics and performance cookies will not be set.

Please note that disabling essential or authentication cookies will prevent you from logging in or using core features of the platform. Disabling analytics or performance cookies will not affect your ability to use Nurses Future, but it may reduce our ability to improve the platform based on usage data.

The lifespan of cookies varies depending on their purpose:

• Session Cookies: Deleted automatically when you close your browser. Used for temporary session state.
• Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device for a defined period (typically 30 days to 2 years) or until manually deleted. Used for authentication, preferences, and analytics.

We may update this Cookie Policy as our platform evolves, as we add new features, or in response to changes in technology and regulation. Material changes will be communicated via a notice on our website or by email. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
