What we use
Essential cookies
- Session token — keeps you signed in while you move between pages. Without this you would have to log in on every page load. Expires after a configurable period of inactivity.
- Refresh token — used silently to refresh your session token before it expires, so you stay signed in across tabs and reloads.
- CSRF token — protects forms against cross-site request forgery attacks.
- Theme preference — remembers your colour scheme choice.
Functional cookies
- Last visited course— so we can show you a "Continue learning" card on your dashboard.
- Locale & language — for displaying dates, numbers, and (where translated) text in your preference.
Analytics cookies
We do not run third-party analytics like Google Analytics or Meta Pixel. We collect aggregated, anonymised usage data on our own servers (page hits, course-completion funnels) — this does not use cookies and is not tied to individual accounts.
Third-party cookies
The only third-party cookies that may be set on the Academy come from Stripeduring checkout for paid courses. These are essential for fraud detection on payment forms. Stripe's cookie policy is available at stripe.com/cookies-policy/legal.
Embedded videos hosted on third parties (YouTube, Vimeo) may set their own cookies. These appear only on course pages that include such videos.
How to control them
You can clear or block cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking the essential cookies above will prevent you from signing in.

Do Not Track
We honour the Do Not Trackbrowser signal — if it's set, we will not record analytics events from your session.
Changes
If we add new cookies or change how existing ones work, we'll update this page and notify signed-in users by email.
