info1. What Are Cookies & Storage Tokens?
Cookies and browser local storage are small text files or key-value entries stored on your device by web applications. On the NexaCampus institutional portal, we use these technologies strictly to authenticate authorized parents and students, protect session integrity against forgery, and remember accessibility preferences like Dark Mode.
We never use advertising cookies, third-party remarketing pixels, or cross-site tracking beacons.
