- Functionality cookies increase the usability of a website by remembering your choices (e.g. language, region, login, and so on).

- Session cookies are temporary cookies that are erased once you close your browser while persistent or permanent cookies stay on your device until you manually delete them or until your browser deletes them based on the duration period specified in the persistent cookie file.

There are no ads in the embedded YouTube player within the Kahoot! platform. The embedded YouTube player allows users to choose content and embed it in a kahoot without content personalization in the player or on youtube.com. When users use YouTube on the Kahoot! platform, their views won’t be connected back to their YouTube account, and their watch history won’t be tracked over time.
4. How you can control your cookies
You have the right to decide whether to reject or accept cookies. Except for the essential cookies that are strictly required for our provision of services to you, cookies are only permitted if you are informed about and have consented to the use of cookies. There are different ways in which you can manage your cookies:
Website cookie preference tool: A cookie banner will appear on your screen the first time when you visit our Kahoot! 360 Website, or access the website with a new device, informing you of our use of cookies. The cookie banner includes a link to our cookie settings preference center. In the cookie settings preference center you can choose which cookies you accept or reject. You can always change your cookie settings by clicking the “Cookies preference center” on the bottom of our website, or under “privacy” in your profile settings in the app.
Browser controls: You may set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies you may still use our Kahoot! 360 Website. However, your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted or your user experience will be impaired. The means by which you can refuse cookies through your web-browser may vary from browser to browser and you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.
Do Not Track: Some browsers – like Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari – include the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” or “DNT” signals. Since uniform standards for DNT signals have not yet been adopted our web pages do not currently process or respond to DNT. Kahoot! does take privacy and your right to make choices seriously and we continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technologies and the implementation of a standard.
