Last updated: November 30, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how InternshipX uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can manage your cookie preferences when using our platform.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.
Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions. This helps us provide you with a better experience when you return to our platform.
We also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage, which function similarly to cookies and are covered by this policy.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for our website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as:
- User authentication and login sessions
- Security and fraud prevention
- Remembering your preferences and settings
- Load balancing and site performance
These cookies cannot be disabled as they are necessary for the platform to work. They do not collect personal information and are typically deleted when you close your browser.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies help us:
- Count the number of visitors and track page views
- Understand which features are most popular
- Identify areas for improvement
- Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
We use services like Google Analytics, which may set cookies on your device. These cookies collect anonymous usage data and help us improve our services.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enhance your experience by remembering your preferences and choices:
- Language preferences
- Theme settings (light/dark mode)
- Recently viewed pages or features
- Form data you've entered (to prevent loss if you navigate away)
These cookies improve your user experience but are not strictly necessary for the website to function.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites to display relevant advertisements. We may use these cookies to:
- Show you relevant ads on other websites
- Measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns
- Limit the number of times you see an ad
These cookies are optional and require your consent. You can opt out of marketing cookies through your browser settings or our cookie preferences.
3. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics, deliver advertisements, and provide enhanced functionality. These third-party services include:
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how users interact with our platform. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your use of our website. You can learn more about Google's privacy practices and opt out of Google Analytics by visiting Google Analytics Opt-out.
Payment Processors
When you make a payment, our payment processor (Stripe) may set cookies to process your transaction securely and prevent fraud.
Social Media Platforms
If you interact with social media features on our platform (such as sharing buttons), those platforms may set cookies on your device.
These third-party services have their own privacy policies and cookie practices. We encourage you to review their policies to understand how they use cookies.

5. Cookie Consent
When you first visit our website, we will ask for your consent to use non-essential cookies. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences.
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by accessing our cookie settings or by adjusting your browser settings. Note that strictly necessary cookies do not require consent as they are essential for the website to function.
6. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no standard for how DNT signals should be interpreted. InternshipX does not currently respond to DNT signals, but we respect your privacy choices through our cookie preferences and privacy settings.
