1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit our website. They help us provide you with a better experience by remembering your preferences and enabling essential platform functionality.
2. Cookies We Use
We only use cookies that are strictly necessary for the platform to function or that remember choices you make. These are exempt from consent under applicable law. We do not use any analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking cookies.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the platform to operate, so we always set them:
- Session Cookie: Maintains your logged-in state during your visit. Also carries the CSRF protection token used to prevent cross-site request forgery. Deleted when you close your browser.
Optional Cookies
- Remember Me: If you check "Remember me" at login, secure cookies keep you logged in across browser sessions. Expires after 30 days.
- Theme Preference: Remembers your light/dark mode choice, set only when you use the theme toggle. Expires after 12 months.
Local Storage
We also use your browser's local storage, which is subject to the same rules as cookies. It stays on your device:
- Cookie Banner: Remembers that you have dismissed the cookie information banner.
- Sidebar State: Remembers whether you collapsed the navigation sidebar.
- Course View: Remembers your grid or list layout choice in the course catalog.
3. Third-Party Cookies
We do not set any third-party cookies. When you make a payment, you interact directly with Stripe's secure payment form. Stripe may set its own cookies on its domain during the checkout process, governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.
We do not use Google Analytics, advertising networks, social media tracking pixels, or any other third-party tracking technology.
4. Managing Cookies
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using the platform.
5. Cookie Policy Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Users will be notified of material changes via email at least 30 days before they take effect, unless a shorter period is required by law or reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, or regulatory compliance. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
