What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves to your browser when you visit. They help websites remember things like your preferences or whether you have accepted certain notices. Cookies themselves do not contain personal information, though some may be associated with data we hold about you.
We use cookies for a small number of specific purposes, explained below. You are in control of which optional cookies are active.
Cookies we use
Essential cookies
Always active — required for basic site function
These cookies are necessary for the website to work. They manage your session, remember your cookie consent choice, and handle basic security functions. They cannot be disabled.
Duration: session or up to 12 months · Provider: Samong
Analytics cookies
Optional — help us understand how the site is used
We use analytics tools to see which pages are visited, how long people spend on them, and where visitors come from. This helps us improve the site and courses. The data is aggregated and does not identify you individually.
Duration: up to 24 months · Provider: Google Analytics (optional)
Marketing cookies
Optional — used for advertising relevance
If we run paid advertising campaigns, these cookies allow ad platforms to know that you have visited our site. This can be used to show Samong ads to people who have previously visited. If you prefer not to be tracked for this purpose, you can leave this off.
Duration: up to 90 days · Provider: varies by platform
Preference cookies
Optional — remember your settings across visits
These cookies remember choices you have made on the site — such as display settings or region preferences — so you do not need to set them again each visit.
Duration: up to 12 months · Provider: Samong
Your cookie preferences
Third-party cookies
Some features of the site may involve cookies set by third parties. These include:
- Google Analytics — for site usage statistics (only if analytics cookies are enabled)
- Advertising platforms — for campaign measurement (only if marketing cookies are enabled)
Third-party cookies are governed by those providers' own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control them directly.
Cookie duration
Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it. They are used for things like maintaining your login state during a visit.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period after your browser is closed. The durations for each category are noted in the descriptions above.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can also manage or delete cookies directly through your browser settings. Instructions for common browsers are below.
Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox
Apple Safari
Microsoft Edge
On mobile browsers, cookie settings are usually found in the browser's Settings or Privacy menu. The steps vary by device and browser version.
Your rights
You can withdraw your consent for optional cookies at any time using the toggles above or through your browser settings. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Disabling optional cookies will not prevent you from using the Samong website, but some features may not work as intended. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without affecting basic site functionality.
