What is a cookie ?
DefinitionA cookie is a tiny text file dropped onto your device when you visit a website. It handles things like keeping you logged in, remembering your preferences, or tracking how well a feature is performing.

Cookies we are running right now
Right now, DORSCHOOL uses cookies to remember your login info so you can stay signed in and jump right back into your game without re-typing your credentials.
Future updates (Gamified platform)
Since we're a gamified platform, we might use cookies down the road to save your learning setup (like dark mode or language preferences), smooth out gameplay mechanics (like jumping back into an asynchronous duel), or track how features like quizzes and flashcards are performing so we can optimize your experience.
