Alto Cookie Policy
Effective date: 7 August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Alto Guru Pty Ltd ("Alto", "we", "our" or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on the Alto website and learning platform at alto.guru. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
Alto is used by schools, families and children, and we keep our use of cookies to the minimum needed to run the service safely.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage. They are widely used to make websites work, to keep you signed in, and to remember preferences.
2. The cookies Alto uses
Alto uses only strictly necessary and functional cookies and browser storage. We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking, or third-party advertising or remarketing technologies.
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Set by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keep you signed in, maintain your session, and protect the security of the service (including protection against cross-site request forgery). The platform cannot function without these. | Session and authentication cookies; security tokens | Alto (first party) |
| Functional | Remember choices you make, such as interface preferences, so the platform behaves as you expect. | Preference storage | Alto (first party) |
Because Alto uses only strictly necessary and functional cookies, no cookie consent banner is required; these cookies are exempt from consent under standard guidance. If we ever introduce optional analytics or other non-essential cookies, we will update this policy and obtain consent where required before they are used.
3. What Alto does not do
- We do not use third-party advertising or remarketing cookies or pixels.
- We do not use cross-site tracking technologies.
- We do not sell or share personal information for advertising.
- We do not show advertising to students.
4. Managing cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings, including blocking cookies or deleting those already stored. Because Alto uses only strictly necessary and functional cookies, blocking them may prevent you from signing in or using parts of the platform. Your browser's help pages explain how to manage cookies for your specific browser.
5. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The current version is always available at alto.guru/cookies. For material changes affecting how we use cookies or similar technologies, we will update this page and, where required, seek consent.
