Cookies are small files your browser keeps so that pages work properly. The platform uses no advertising cookies and no third-party tracking cookies. All the cookies below are strictly necessary to run the service, so we do not ask for your consent to them.
01The cookies we use
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| afaq.auth | Keeps you signed in to the platform and center dashboards | 12 hours from last use; kept after the browser closes if you choose "Remember me" |
| afaq.xsrf | Protects forms from forged submissions from other sites | Until you close the browser |
| afaq.parent | Keeps a parent signed in to the parents' portal on a center's site | 7 days from last use |
| afaq.chat | A random ID that links your chat with the AI assistant on a center's site and helps limit misuse | 180 days |
| .AspNetCore.Mvc.CookieTempDataProvider | Carries a short message between two pages, such as a "saved" notice or a booking request number | Until the message is shown |
02Local storage in your browser
- Visitor statistics (Live): on the platform's public pages only, the service keeps a random visit ID and keys starting with vt_ in local storage. It never runs on centers' sites. You can turn it off in our privacy policy; your browser then keeps the key vt_optout to remember your choice.
03The payment page
When you pay, you move to a Stripe page, which uses its own cookies to prevent fraud and complete the payment under Stripe's own policy.
04Controlling cookies
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block the necessary cookies, you will not be able to sign in or send forms.
