This page is a general working draft prepared for review by SQMI. It is not legal advice, and it must be reviewed by a qualified legal professional before SQMI adopts it.
01Interview practice session storage
The interview coach uses session storage in your browser tab for the selected setup, answer draft and signed practice token so you can choose to resume after a reload. The token contains answers and feedback; signing prevents undetected changes but does not encrypt it. It is valid for two hours. Browser data can remain until the tab is closed or you use Clear browser practice. This functional storage is not advertising or newsletter tracking. If storage is blocked, practice can continue without saved progress.
03Technologies used on this site
The table below describes technologies the website is configured to use or that may be used by its providers. Exact cookie names and lifetimes are set by the providers and can change; no audit of the cookies actually set by the live deployment has been completed, so this table is not a verified cookie inventory.
| Technology | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| sqmi-lang (local storage, not a cookie) | SQMI | Remembers whether you chose English or French. | Until you clear site data or choose another language. |
| sqmi-analytics-consent (local storage) | SQMI | Remembers your acceptance or refusal of optional analytics. If browser storage is blocked, your choice applies only to the current tab session. | One year, unless you change your choice or clear site data. |
| _ga and _ga_B74GPBQ5R6 (analytics cookies) | Google Analytics | Measure public-page visits and usage after acceptance. Not configured by SQMI for advertising personalisation. | Configured for up to one year; Google and browser behaviour may affect actual expiry. Accessible analytics cookies are removed when you refuse. |
| Authentication, session and security cookies | Clerk | Necessary for staff sign-in, keeping sessions secure and protecting against misuse. Clerk is loaded across the site, so some of these may be set or checked on public pages. Names and configuration vary. | Set by Clerk and your browser; sessions last as defined by the provider rather than a fixed period chosen by SQMI. |
| Platform and hosting security technologies | Replit (hosting) | May be used by the hosting environment to deliver pages, route traffic and protect the service. | Varies with the actual deployment and provider. |
| Usage measurement, if enabled | Hosting-provided analytics | Counts enquiries sent (enquiry type and language) and course page views (course identifier and language). Such tools can work without cookies. | Depends on the tool and its configuration. |
Google Analytics is optional and is not loaded before acceptance. SQMI does not configure Meta advertising pixels, session-replay tools or advertising-personalisation features. Hosting-side security and delivery features may operate separately from the app.
04Necessary technologies and consent
Sign-in, session, security and language technologies are needed for the site to work and stay secure, or to provide a feature you choose. They are not optional settings that you consent to individually.
The analytics choice panel offers Accept analytics and Refuse analytics. Neither scrolling nor continuing to use the website is acceptance. You can reopen Cookie settings at any time to change your choice. Refusal keeps public content, enquiries and other site features available. Withdrawing stops further app analytics and removes accessible Google Analytics cookies, but does not delete data already received by Google. Your choice is remembered for one year; after expiry you will be asked again.
05How to control cookies and storage
You can view, block and delete cookies and site data in your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings, Privacy and security, Third-party cookies or Site settings, then See all site data and permissions.
- Safari (Mac and iPhone): Settings or Preferences, Privacy, Manage Website Data, or Settings, Safari, Advanced, Website Data on iPhone.
- Firefox: Settings, Privacy and Security, Cookies and Site Data, Manage Data.
- Edge: Settings, Cookies and site permissions, Manage and delete cookies and site data.
Clearing site data removes your saved language preference and signs staff out. Blocking necessary cookies may stop staff sign-in from working. Public pages and the enquiry form are designed to remain usable.
To change your language preference without clearing data, use the EN / FR switch in the site header.
