This Cookie Policy explains how Gaman Lab (" Company", " we", " us", or " our") uses cookies and similar technologies on https://edustories.ai and https://app.edustories.ai(the " Services").
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences and actions over time. We also use localStorage, a browser storage mechanism that works similarly but is not sent to the server with each request.
First-party cookies are set by us directly. Third-party cookies are set by external services we use (e.g. Google Analytics).

3. How to Control Cookies
3.1 Cookie banner
When you first visit app.edustories.ai, a cookie banner appears at the bottom of the page. Click Accept
to enable analytics cookies or Decline
to use only strictly necessary cookies. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage for this site (key: cookie_consent
) and reloading the page.
On edustories.ai(the main website), cookie preferences are managed through the website platform's own consent mechanism.
3.2 Browser settings
You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies (session, CSRF) will prevent the application from functioning correctly.
3.3 Opt-out links
- Google Analytics: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
- Microsoft Clarity: Microsoft Privacy Settings
4. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. We do not currently respond to DNT signals, but we honour your cookie consent choices made through our banner.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates when it was last revised.
