Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website or use an application. We may also use related technologies such as pixels, tags, web beacons, software development kits (SDKs), local storage, session replay tools, and similar technologies for similar purposes.

For simplicity, this Cookie Policy refers to all of these technologies as "cookies," except where distinction is required.

Why We Use Cookies

We may use cookies to:

• operate, maintain, and secure the Services;
• enable login, authentication, and account functionality;
• remember preferences and settings;
• keep users signed in across sessions;
• process purchases and support payment flows;
• analyze traffic, usage patterns, and performance;
• improve platform design, content, and user experience;
• detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, and security incidents;
• personalize content, recommendations, and communications; and
• support advertising, retargeting, and attribution, where permitted by law.

Categories of Cookies We May Use

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the Services to function properly. They may support core features such as security, login authentication, session management, load balancing, checkout functionality, fraud prevention, and platform navigation.

If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the Services may not function properly.

B. Functional Cookies

These cookies help us remember your preferences and improve usability, such as language settings, region preferences, saved choices, and interface customizations.

C. Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how users interact with the Services, such as which pages are visited, how long users stay, what links are clicked, whether errors occur, and how users move through course or checkout flows. This helps us improve performance, diagnose technical issues, and optimize the user experience.

D. Advertising, Marketing, and Attribution Cookies

These cookies may be used to measure the effectiveness of campaigns, limit repetitive ads, track conversions, support referrals, and help deliver more relevant marketing or promotional content on our Services or on third-party platforms.

E. Security and Fraud-Prevention Technologies

Some cookies and similar technologies are used to identify suspicious behavior, detect unauthorized access attempts, support account protection, prevent bot activity, and maintain platform integrity.

Information Collected Through Cookies

Depending on the technology used, cookies may collect information such as:

• IP address;
• browser type and version;
• device type and device identifiers;
• operating system;
• referral URLs;
• pages viewed and links clicked;
• date and time of visits;
• session duration;
• approximate geolocation derived from IP address;
• account login status;
• error reports and diagnostic data; and
• interactions with course pages, content, emails, advertisements, or checkout flows.

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

We may use both first-party cookies and third-party cookies.

• First-party cookies are set by Cyrenium.
• Third-party cookies are set by third-party providers whose tools or services are integrated into the Services.

Third-party providers may include hosting providers, analytics vendors, payment processors, video or meeting providers, marketing providers, identity verification vendors, customer support tools, fraud prevention vendors, and social media or advertising partners. Those third parties may collect information according to their own privacy notices and terms.

Examples of How Cookies May Be Used on the Services

Depending on the tools we use from time to time, cookies may help us:

• authenticate users after login;
• maintain session continuity during course enrollment or checkout;
• remember preferences for dashboard settings or course browsing;
• measure educator page traffic and course engagement;
• detect suspicious sign-in attempts or unusual transaction activity;
• attribute purchases or sign-ups to campaigns or referral sources;
• support embedded content such as video tools or live-session integrations; and
• understand whether site improvements are working as intended.

Legal Basis and Consent

Where required by applicable law, we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. Non-essential cookies may include analytics, personalization, and advertising cookies, depending on applicable law and how the Services are configured.

Where permitted by law, strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent because they are required to operate the Services, protect security, or deliver a service you request.

You may withdraw or modify your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie settings tools made available through the Services, if available, or through your browser controls, subject to applicable law.

How to Control Cookies

You may be able to control cookies in several ways:

• by adjusting the cookie banner or consent manager on our Services, where available;
• by changing your browser settings to block or delete cookies;
• by using device-level privacy settings;
• by using opt-out controls offered by certain analytics or advertising providers; and
• by clearing local storage or application data on your device.

Please note that disabling cookies may affect functionality. Some features of the Services may not work properly if certain cookies are blocked.

Browser and Platform Controls

Most browsers allow you to manage cookies through browser settings. You may be able to:

• delete stored cookies;
• block all cookies;
• allow only certain cookies;
• receive a notification before a cookie is set; or
• clear browsing data when you close your browser.

If you use multiple browsers or devices, you may need to update your settings on each one separately.

Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" signals. Because there is not a universally accepted standard for responding to those signals, the Services may not respond to all such signals unless required by applicable law.

Third-Party Advertising and Analytics

We may use third-party analytics and advertising tools that use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your use of the Services and other online services over time. These providers may use that information to help us analyze traffic, measure campaign performance, and deliver or evaluate relevant advertising.

To the extent required by law, such technologies will be subject to consent or opt-out mechanisms made available through the Services.

Cookie Retention

Some cookies are session-based and expire when you close your browser. Others remain on your device for a longer period until they expire or are deleted. Retention periods vary depending on the purpose of the cookie, system settings, legal requirements, and the third-party provider involved.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, platform features, or our data practices. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date above and provide any additional notice required by law.
