Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 15, 2026
1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.
localStorage is a browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not sent to the server with every request.
2. How We Use Cookies & Local Storage
The website alexjungean.com, operated by EDU BOOST SRL (CUI: 50079362), uses cookies and local storage for the following purposes:
- Analytics: To understand how visitors interact with the Website and to improve the user experience
