4. Cookies, analytics and ads
Cookies, analytics and ads
We use session cookies to keep you signed in and secure. If you choose your course and semester without signing in, we remember that choice in a cookie on your device, so munotes opens on your semester next time. It holds only the course, semester and college you chose, and lasts up to a year. We also remember a "Not now" the same way. We also keep a small cookie, for up to 90 days, that remembers the first page you opened on munotes, the website or link that brought you here, and the last two pages you opened before paying. When you pay, we keep this note with your order, so we can see which pages help students choose a pass. We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages help students, and Google AdSense to show ads. Both set their own cookies. When a payment completes, our server tells Google Analytics the amount, the pass and an order number, linked to your browser's analytics ID. We never send your name, email or phone number, and we keep that analytics ID with your order for 8 days at most. You can block these cookies in your browser or use Google's opt-out add-on.
5. Security and retention
Practical safeguards in place
We apply controls to reduce unauthorized access and misuse. Data is retained only for service operation, legal obligations, and dispute handling.
