Cookie Policy

Cookies and HTML5 Local Storage are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit websites. They are widely used to maintain session state, remember user preferences, and provide analytical telemetry.

We deploy minimal cookies and local storage tokens for strictly functional and diagnostic purposes: • **Modal Suppression**: Storing a flag when you submit your email or dismiss a guide modal so that you are not repeatedly interrupted with identical popups during your browsing session. • **Toast Timers**: Tracking temporary countdown states for the cookie notice and corner guide toast. • **Telemetry & Security**: Anonymized metrics to assess page performance, detect broken interactive elements, and safeguard our server endpoints against distributed abuse.

The primary keys utilized by BrightPath include: • **altftool_education_subscribed**: Stores a boolean indicating that an email address was submitted, permanently suppressing subsequent lead generation dialogs for the session. • **altftool_cookie_consent**: Records whether you clicked "Accept" or "Decline" on our cookie notification banner. • **altftool_education_leads**: Stores temporary local submission timestamps to prevent duplicate submissions.

You have full authority to accept, decline, or delete cookies at any time: • You can click the "Cookie Settings" button in our footer to re-open the cookie consent banner and update your preference. • You can configure your browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) to block all cookies or alert you when a cookie is placed. • You can clear your browser storage cache to remove all saved keys instantly.
