We don't use cookies
ShamBits Academy's website and applications do not set or use any cookies — not for essential functionality, not for analytics, and not for advertising. We have no analytics tools, no advertising or tracking pixels, and no third-party trackers anywhere across our marketing website or our student, teacher, or admin applications.
Because we don't use cookies, and because the browser storage we do use (described below) is limited to what's strictly necessary to run your account securely, a cookie-consent banner is not required for how our site and apps currently work, and we don't show one.
What we do store in your browser (Web Storage, not cookies)
Our student, teacher, and admin applications use your browser's built-in storage (technically called `localStorage` and `sessionStorage`, not cookies) to keep the application working smoothly. Specifically:
| What's stored | Purpose | How long it stays |
|---|---|---|
| Access token | Keeps you signed in between page loads | Until you log out, or it expires |
| Refresh token | Lets you stay signed in without re-entering your password constantly | Until you log out, or it expires |
| Your basic account details (name, email, phone, role) | Lets the app show your account information without asking the server every time | Until you log out |
| Language preference | Remembers whether you've chosen English or Arabic | Persists across visits |
| Time zone display preference | Remembers a per-session choice about which time zone to show schedules in | Cleared when you log out |
None of this is used for advertising, tracking you across other websites, or building a profile of your browsing behaviour — it exists solely to make your own account work properly.
Our marketing website
Our marketing website (where you can read about ShamBits Academy before signing up) does not use cookies or browser storage of any kind, and has no analytics or tracking scripts.
Fonts
Our web pages use fonts that are hosted directly on our own servers, rather than requested from a third-party font provider at the time you visit the page.
Changes to this notice
If this changes in the future — for example, if we ever introduce analytics or advertising — we will update this notice, and where legally required, ask for your consent before doing so.
