Cookie Policy

Last Updated: July 8, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how AlgoEngineer LLC ("AlgoEngineer," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies such as browser local storage. Together we refer to these as "cookies." They help a site remember your actions and preferences (for example, your cookie choices) and help us understand how the site is used.

2. How We Ask for Your Consent

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner lets you choose which categories of cookies to allow. Only necessary cookies are active by default. Analytics, marketing, and functional cookies remain disabled until you opt in. You can change your choices at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in our website footer.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

  • Necessary (always active): Required for authentication, security, and core site functionality, and to remember your cookie choices. These cannot be disabled.
  • Analytics (opt-in): Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. Disabled until you consent.
  • Marketing (opt-in): Used to measure the effectiveness of our marketing. Disabled until you consent.
  • Functional (opt-in): Enable personalization such as saved preferences. Disabled until you consent.

The exact cookies present depend on the choices you make in the consent banner. We do not enable marketing or functional cookies unless and until you opt in to those categories.

5. Third-Party Cookies

When you consent to analytics, Google Analytics may set cookies as described above; its data is anonymized and we do not enable Google Ads features. Embedded content, such as YouTube videos of recorded lectures, may set cookies from those providers when you interact with it. These third parties process data under their own privacy policies. See our Privacy Policy for the full list of service providers.

6. How to Control Cookies

  • Use the "Cookie settings" link in our footer to review or change your choices at any time.
  • Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site from working.
  • Where applicable, we honor recognized universal opt-out signals such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC).

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date above.
