Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that a website saves to your browser to remember things between visits — like keeping you signed in. Some are essential for the platform to work; others are optional and help us understand how the Academy is used.

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.

Site analytics

We do not run third-party analytics like Google Analytics or Meta Pixel. We run a first-party tracker on our own servers that collects aggregate site analytics — page path, page title, referrer, user agent, hashed IP, country, device type, and time-on-page — to understand how the site is used. We do not collect names, emails, or precise locations. Raw data is dropped after 90 days; aggregates are retained indefinitely. You can opt out by rejecting cookies.

The tracker uses a session identifier stored in sessionStorage(cleared when you close the tab) and a localStorage flag to remember your consent choice. No third-party domain is contacted.

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.

Your consent choice

You can change your choice about optional cookies at any time here. Essential cookies (sign-in, CSRF) can't be turned off — the platform won't work without them — but they don't track you.

You can also clear or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking the essential cookies will prevent you from signing in.

We honour the Do Not Trackbrowser signal — if it's set, we will not record analytics events from your session.

If we add new cookies or change how existing ones work, we'll update this page and notify signed-in users by email.
