Cookie Policy

1. Scope and Statutory Framework

This Cookie Policy applies to the web portal operated by Markdex, accessible via our digital domain dedicated to spaced repetition methodology, card template architecture, and interval scheduling guides (the "Service").

As our primary operations are situated in Manchester, England, our processing of electronic storage and tracking data is strictly regulated by:

• The Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR), as amended;
• The United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR);
• The Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018); and
• Regulatory guidance published by the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

Under PECR and UK GDPR, storing information or gaining access to information stored in a user's terminal equipment is prohibited unless the subscriber or user is provided with clear and comprehensive information and has given their informed, affirmative consent, subject to limited exceptions for strictly necessary operations.

2. Understanding Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are diminutive alphanumeric text files transferred to your computer, tablet, or smartphone via your web browser when visiting web resources. They facilitate system memory regarding device preferences, authentication state, mathematical scheduler settings (such as FSRS or SM-2 algorithms), and visitor interaction pathways.

We also employ analogous browser-side persistence mechanisms, including:

• HTML5 Local & Session Storage: Client-side key-value pairs retained within the user's browser, used to preserve flashcard simulation states, script toggles, and UI color contrasts;
• Server Logs & Pixel Tags: Minimal telemetry records verifying page requests, download completions of technical add-on packages, and system stability metrics.
