1. Functionality: To remember your site preferences and enhance performance.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. However, if you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of ScholarCareer or other websites you visit.

5. Google AdSense and Third-Party Cookies

We use Google AdSense as our third-party advertisement vendor. Google uses cookies (specifically the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve personalized ads based on a user's prior visits to our website and other websites on the internet.

6. Data Security

We employ reasonable and industry-standard physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect, particularly in transit (using SSL encryption).
