Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners. Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
We also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags that function similarly to cookies. For simplicity, we refer to all of these as "cookies" in this policy.

3. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage and session storage to save certain preferences and state data on your device. This includes your chat session identifier, email gate unlock status, and onboarding progress. This data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless you take an action that requires it.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Note that disabling essential cookies will affect your ability to log in and use the Learning Hub. Here are links to cookie management instructions for common browsers:
5. Do Not Track
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. We currently do not respond to DNT signals, as there is no industry-standard interpretation of DNT. We will update this policy if a standard is established.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
