Clicking this button will remove all tracking and analytics cookies from your browser. Essential cookies required for site functionality will remain active to ensure Makgrab continues working properly.
What This Document Covers
When you visit makgrab.com, small text files get stored on your device. We call these cookies, though that's just one type of tracking technology we use. This policy explains what information we collect through these methods and why it matters for your experience on our career development platform.
Some tracking is necessary for the site to function. Other types help us understand how people use Makgrab so we can make improvements. We're transparent about what we do because you should know what happens when you're exploring career strategies and professional development resources here.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Functions
These keep the site working. They remember your login status, store items in your course cart, and maintain security settings. Without these, you'd have to re-enter information constantly. We can't turn these off because the site wouldn't function.
Performance Tracking
We track which pages load slowly, where errors occur, and how long things take. This data shows us technical problems that need fixing. When someone from Vancouver has trouble loading a course page, we want to know about it.
Usage Analytics
These tell us which career development topics get the most attention, what resources people find helpful, and where visitors stop engaging. We use this to decide which content deserves more focus and what needs improvement.
Marketing Tools
When you see Makgrab mentioned on other sites or in search results, these cookies help us understand which channels brought you here. They also prevent you from seeing the same advertisement repeatedly across different platforms.
About Essential Cookies
Essential cookies don't need your permission because they're required for basic site operation. Think of them like the door locks on a building - they're not optional.
These cookies expire when you close your browser or after a set security period. They don't track your behavior across other websites. They just remember things like whether you're logged in or what language preference you selected.
How Tracking Improves Your Experience
Let's say you're researching LinkedIn strategies for job hunting. With cookies enabled, when you return to Makgrab next week, the site remembers where you left off. You see related content about profile optimization and networking approaches without searching again.
Analytics help us notice patterns. If dozens of people from BC search for interview preparation but quickly leave those pages, that tells us the content might not match what people actually need. We can then update those resources with more practical advice.
Performance cookies caught an issue last month where course videos loaded slowly for users on mobile devices in certain regions. We fixed the content delivery system because the data showed us exactly where the problem existed.
| Cookie Type | Duration | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Session ID | Until browser closes | Keeps you logged in while browsing different pages |
| Preference Storage | 90 days | Remembers language settings and display preferences |
| Analytics Tracking | 24 months | Measures page views and navigation patterns |
| Marketing Attribution | 6 months | Tracks which marketing channels bring visitors |
Third-Party Services
We use services from other companies to handle certain functions. Google Analytics processes usage data. These services place their own cookies following their privacy policies. When you accept cookies on Makgrab, you're also accepting cookies from these partners.
We don't control what these third parties do with aggregated data, but we choose services that respect privacy standards. They provide us with summarized reports rather than individual user profiles.
Managing Your Cookie Settings
Your browser gives you control over cookies. Here's how to adjust settings in common browsers:
- Open your browser settings or preferences menu from the main toolbar
- Look for Privacy, Security, or Content Settings sections depending on your browser
- Find the Cookies or Site Data management option within those settings
- Choose to block all cookies, only third-party cookies, or allow everything
- Save your changes and restart the browser for settings to take full effect
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will break certain features on Makgrab. You won't be able to log in, save course progress, or maintain preferences between visits. Most people choose to block only third-party cookies as a middle ground.
Data Retention Periods
Different cookies last for different periods. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others stick around for months or years. Marketing cookies typically expire after six months. Analytics cookies might last up to two years.
We regularly review stored data and remove information that's no longer useful. Server logs get deleted after 90 days. Old analytics data gets aggregated into reports and then individual records get cleared.

You can request a copy of what data we've collected about you. You can ask us to delete that information. You can opt out of marketing cookies while still using the platform. The button at the top of this page makes it easy to reject non-essential tracking right now.
