Cookies

A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser so it can remember something about you — like the fact that you're signed in, or a preference you set. Some of what we describe here is stored using your browser's local storage rather than a cookie proper; we've included it because the privacy question is the same either way.

These are set without asking, because the site cannot function without them:

• Your theme choice (light or dark) — stored in your browser, never sent to us.
• Your cookie choice from the banner — so we stop asking.
• An admin sign-in session — only ever set if you are a member of the Elevox team signing into the admin dashboard. Ordinary visitors never receive it.
• Which announcement you have dismissed — so the strip at the top of the site stays closed once you close it, and reappears only when the announcement changes.

None of these follow you to other websites, and none are shared with anyone.

We give links to the people and places that recommend us — a college, an Instagram post, someone who reviews courses. Each one carries a short code on the end, like ?ref=priya-yt. When you follow one, your browser makes a note of that code, so that if you book a seat a week later we can tell who to thank.

The note contains three things: the code from the link, the domain of the site you came from (instagram.com — not the page, and not anything you searched for), and the path of the page you landed on (never the part after the ?, which can contain your own name and email).

It contains no identifier of any kind. No id, no account, no device fingerprint, no IP address. There is nothing in it that could link one visit to another visit, to another device, or to you. Your browser forgets it after 90 days, and clearing this site's data removes it immediately.

We also count how many times each link is followed — one number per link per day, with nothing attached. A marker that lasts until you close the tab stops the same click being counted twice if you reload; it holds the link code and nothing else. In that count, two visits by you and two visits by two strangers are indistinguishable, because there is nothing stored that could tell them apart.

This never leaves elevox.ai. It is not sent to Meta, to Google, or to anyone else.

We run advertising on Facebook and Instagram, and we would like to know which of those ads actually bring people here. To do that we use the Meta pixel, a piece of code from Meta Platforms.

It does not load until you press Accept on the cookie banner. If you decline, or simply ignore the banner, no request is ever made to Meta and no data leaves your browser for them.

If you do accept, the pixel tells Meta:

• which pages on elevox.ai you viewed;
• which programme pages you opened, by name;
• when you click a WhatsApp contact link;
• when you start an enrolment, and which programme it was for — including if you never finish it;
• when you complete an enrolment, including the amount paid.

Meta may match that activity to your Facebook or Instagram account and use it to show you our ads. We never send them your name, phone number or email address.

We do not sell your browsing behaviour to data brokers. We do not run any advertising or tracking cookie other than the Meta pixel described above, and that one is opt-in. We do not embed social-network share widgets, comment systems or session-recording tools.

We do not keep a log of the pages you visit. There is no page-view table anywhere in this site: the only thing counted is how often a referral link is followed, and that count has no visitor attached to it. The referral note described above is not an advertising cookie — it never leaves this site, carries no identifier, and cannot follow you anywhere.

Change your cookie choice

That button forgets your answer and asks again — one click, the same as giving it. Nothing else about your visit is touched: your theme stays, and an admin stays signed in.

Your choice is stored in your browser under elevox-consent. Clearing your browsing data for this site also resets it, but it takes your theme and your admin session with it, which is why the button above exists.

You can also block cookies entirely in your browser settings; see allaboutcookies.org for a browser-by-browser guide. Blocking everything will sign you out of the admin dashboard and reset your theme on each visit, but the public site will still work.
