7. Managing cookies

You can control cookies in several ways:

  • Cookie banner — Use the banner that appears when you first visit to accept or reject non-essential cookies.
  • Browser settings — Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Check your browser’s help documentation for instructions.
  • Clear local storage — You can clear local storage through your browser’s developer tools (this will reset your flashcard progress and quiz scores).

Note: Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the Site from working correctly.
