Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our website.

When you first visit our website, you can choose which optional cookies to allow. Strictly necessary cookies are always active, since the website cannot function without them. You can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie Preferences" link in the website footer. You can also control or disable cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may affect how some features of our website work.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website.

Cookies help websites remember information about your visit, such as your login status, language preferences, and other settings. They also help improve website performance and security.

Cookies do not normally contain information that directly identifies you by themselves, but they may be linked to information associated with your account.

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

Keep you signed in to your account.
Protect your account and improve security.
Remember your preferences and settings.
Improve website performance and reliability.
Measure website traffic and visitor activity.
Understand how users interact with our courses and website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

User authentication.
Secure login sessions.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our website. These cookies help us learn:

How visitors navigate our website.
How long users stay on pages.

Security Cookies

Security cookies help us detect suspicious activity and protect user accounts from unauthorized access. These cookies help maintain the safety and integrity of our website.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by trusted third-party services that help us operate our website. Google Login (authentication), Paddle (payment processing), and Bunny.net (video delivery) are necessary cookies: they only activate when you directly use the feature they support (signing in, checking out, or streaming a lesson), and the site cannot provide that feature without them.

Google Analytics is the one third-party service in the table below that is optional and consent-gated, as described in Section 3 above.

Google Analytics (website analytics) — optional, requires opt-in.
Google Login (authentication) — necessary.
Paddle (payment processing) — necessary.
Bunny.net (video delivery) — necessary.
Other trusted service providers used to operate our platform.

These third parties may use cookies in accordance with their own privacy policies.

5. How We Use Google Analytics

When enabled by your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics may collect information such as:

Pages visited.
Time spent on pages.
Device type.
Browser type.
Approximate geographic location.
Referral source.
General website usage information.

This information is used to improve our website and learning experience. Google Analytics does not provide us with your passwords or payment information.

6. Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to manage, block, or delete cookies. You can usually control cookies through your browser settings.

Please note that disabling certain cookies may cause parts of our website to function incorrectly, including login features and personalized settings.

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers provide a "Do Not Track" setting. Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to Do Not Track signals, our website may not respond to these browser requests.

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When changes are made, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

Your continued use of our website after changes become effective means you accept the updated Cookie Policy.
