This page lists every cookie and similar kind of browser storage that prepgenix.com and the portal use, what each one does, and how to change your choice.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small file a website saves in your browser. Local storage and session storage do the same job in a different place. This page covers all three.
Needed for the site to work
These don't ask for consent, because the site or portal can't do what you asked without them. None of them follow you to other sites.

Other services on the site
- Google Fonts. The site loads its typefaces from Google, which sees your IP address and browser when a page loads.
- YouTube. The video reviews on the homepage load from youtube-nocookie.com only when you press play. Once a video plays, YouTube may store data in your browser.
- WhatsApp. WhatsApp links open WhatsApp, which has its own cookie policy.
Changing your choice
Use the button at the top of this page or the Cookie settings link at the bottom of any page. If you withdraw consent, we delete the Google Analytics and Clarity cookies on prepgenix.com, ask Clarity to clear its own, and reload the page.
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a Reject and don't show the banner.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The portal needs local storage to keep you signed in.
The privacy policy explains what we do with the data these collect.
