This Cookie & Ads Policy explains how Revision Genie uses cookies, similar technologies, and limited advertising. We've written it to be clear and easy to understand, especially for our younger users, their parents, and teachers.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites remember information about your visit. Think of them like a note that reminds us who you are and how you like to use the site.
We use two main types:
Session cookies: Temporary, removed when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies: Stay for a set time to remember your preferences.
2.1 Essential Cookies (Always Active)
These are needed for the website to work properly and keep you safe.
Security cookies (protect your account and data).
Login cookies (keep you signed in).
Basic function cookies (make sure Revision Genie runs smoothly).
2.2 Optional Cookies (Your Choice)
These improve your experience but are not required.
Learning progress cookies (remember where you left off).
Preference cookies (save your settings).
Performance cookies (help us improve Revision Genie).
To help keep Revision Genie free for students, we sometimes show non-personalised ads using Google AdSense.
Ads are based on the page you're viewing, not your browsing history.
We block sensitive categories (e.g. gambling, alcohol, dating).
Ads are reviewed to make sure they are safe for students.
No personalised or behavioural advertising is used.
Only essential cookies are enabled by default.
Optional cookies require your choice to turn on.
No tracking or advertising cookies are used for profiling.
Minimal data collection is always our standard.
You're in control.
Essential cookies cannot be turned off, as they're needed for security and site function.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings (though some features may stop working properly if you block them all).
We only use trusted, limited third-party services:
Google Sign-In (for logging in).
Google AdSense (non-personalised ads only).
Essential security and educational service providers.
These services follow strict privacy and safeguarding rules.
You can change your mind at any time.
We never sell cookie data.
We do not use cookies for personalised advertising.
We regularly update and review our practices to meet safeguarding and privacy standards.
If you have questions about our cookie or advertising practices, please contact our support team. For more details about how we protect young users, see our Children's Code Compliance page.
