Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — such as whether you are logged in — so it can work correctly on your next visit or as you navigate between pages.

Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by other domains (such as Google) are called third-party cookies.

2. Cookies We Use

Torah Readers Tikkun uses only strictly necessary cookies. We do not use advertising, analytics, social media, or tracking cookies of any kind.

3. Google reCAPTCHA

We use Google reCAPTCHA v3 on our account registration and login pages. reCAPTCHA is a security service provided by Google LLC that helps us distinguish human users from automated bots.

reCAPTCHA may collect and send the following information to Google:

• Browser type, version, and plugins
• Device screen resolution and operating system
• Mouse movements and interaction timing
• Cookies already present in your browser from Google services
• A session-level risk score (returned to us as a numeric value only)

We receive only an anonymized risk score from Google; we do not receive individual-level identifying data from reCAPTCHA. Google's handling of this data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy .

4. What We Don't Use

We confirm that itorah.life does not use:

• Google Analytics or any other analytics platform
• Advertising or retargeting cookies
• Social media tracking pixels (Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, etc.)
• Heat-mapping or session-recording tools
• Any cookie for behavioral profiling or cross-site tracking

5. Strictly Necessary Cookies & Consent

Under the EU ePrivacy Directive (implemented as national "cookie laws" in EU member states) and the UK's Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), cookies that are strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user are exempt from the prior-consent requirement.

Because every cookie we set (the session cookie) or facilitate (reCAPTCHA for security) falls within the strictly necessary exemption, we do not present a consent-or-reject cookie banner. Instead, we display an informational notice and provide this policy so you are fully informed.

If you do not wish these cookies to be set, you must not use the Service, as they are technically required for login and bot protection.

6. Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that if you delete or disable the session cookie (connect.sid), you will be unable to stay logged in to the Service.
