This Cookie Policy explains how Lypad Academy LLC ("Lypad Academy," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit lypadacademy.com or related webpages that link to this Policy (the "Website"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. The Terms of Use govern use of the Website and Services; this Cookie Policy is a notice describing browser- and device-level technologies and choices.
Essential cookies and similar technologies may be used without consent where permitted by law because they are necessary to provide the Website, protect its security, remember your cookie choice, process requested transactions, or provide features you request. We use optional cookies and similar technologies only after receiving any consent required by applicable law.
1. WHAT ARE COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your computer, phone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies can recognize a browser or device, maintain a session, remember preferences, support security, and enable requested website functions.
This Policy also covers similar technologies, including local storage, pixels, tags, software development kits, and other technologies that store information on, access information from, or recognize a browser or device. For convenience, we refer to them collectively as "cookies and similar technologies."
· First-party cookies are set through the Website and controlled by or on behalf of Lypad Academy.
· External-service cookies are set or accessed by services that help provide Website functions, security, payments, embedded content, or other requested features.
· Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until their stated expiration date or until you delete them.
2. TYPES OF TECHNOLOGIES WE CURRENTLY USE
2.1 Essential and Security Technologies
These technologies are necessary to operate and protect the Website or provide a feature you request. They may support page navigation, account access, secure sessions, fraud prevention, traffic management, checkout functionality, payment processing, form submission, course access, and storage of your cookie preference. Because these technologies are necessary for requested functions, they may remain active when you select "Accept Essential Only."
2.2 Functional Technologies
The Website may use optional functional technologies to remember choices or provide enhanced convenience, such as display preferences, form settings, or embedded features. Where consent is required, these technologies will not be activated unless you select "Accept All." Disabling optional functional technologies may cause certain convenience features to be unavailable.
2.3 Analytics Technologies
We may use analytics and performance technologies to understand Website traffic and usage, identify errors, measure page and feature performance, evaluate how visitors reach and interact with the Website, and improve our Website and Services. These technologies may collect or generate information such as IP address, approximate location derived from IP address, device and browser information, referring pages, pages viewed, interactions, session information, timestamps, and technical performance data. Where prior consent is required by applicable law, optional analytics technologies controlled through our banner will not be activated unless you select “Accept All.” Certain providers may also generate limited operational logs or aggregate service metrics as part of providing essential hosting, security, payment, or other requested services.
2.4 Advertising and Targeting Technologies
We may use advertising and conversion-measurement technologies to measure campaigns, understand whether advertisements lead to Website activity or purchases, create or match audiences, limit repeated advertising, or deliver advertising that may be more relevant to users.
Depending on the tool and configuration, these technologies may process information such as device identifiers, IP addresses, browser information, pages viewed, links clicked, form or purchase events, transaction information, or contact information that has been transformed, such as by hashing, before transmission. We do not intentionally use advertising technologies to transmit sensitive applicant information, resumes, assessment results, or private Community content.
Where required by applicable law, optional advertising technologies controlled through our banner will not be activated unless you select “Accept All,” and we will provide applicable disclosure, preference-management, or opt-out methods. Certain advertising activities may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or use for targeted advertising under some privacy laws even when personal information is not sold for money. Where those laws apply to Lypad Academy and the relevant activity, we will provide required notices and opt-out methods.
3. EXTERNAL SERVICES AND EMBEDDED CONTENT
We may use external services in the following categories to operate, secure, measure, and support the Website and Services:
· website hosting, content delivery, security, authentication, and traffic management;
· funnel, form, checkout, payment, and fraud-prevention functions;
· course, account, and community access;
· email, messaging, scheduling, and customer support;
· cookie-consent and preference management;
· cloud storage, document management, and electronic signatures; and
· embedded videos, forms, scheduling tools, social content, or other third-party features; and
analytics, performance measurement, advertising, and conversion measurement.
These services may set or access cookies and similar technologies when necessary to provide a feature you request or, for optional technologies, after the applicable cookie choice. External providers may process information under their own legal obligations and privacy notices. Certain embedded content may remain unavailable unless you permit the technologies needed to load it.
4. YOUR COOKIE CHOICES
When you first visit the Website, you may be presented with a cookie banner containing these choices:
· Accept All - permits essential technologies and any optional technologies then configured through the banner.
· Accept Essential Only - declines optional technologies controlled through the banner, including optional analytics or advertising technologies, while allowing essential, security, and requested-function technologies to operate.
The two choices should be presented with comparable prominence. Optional technologies controlled through the banner should not be activated before you make a choice where prior consent is required.
You may change or withdraw your cookie choice through a "Cookie Settings" link made available on the Website where technically supported. You may also delete Website cookies through your browser, which may cause the banner to appear again. Withdrawal does not affect processing that lawfully occurred before your choice was changed.
Your cookie preference may be stored for up to 12 months, after which you may be asked to make a new selection. We may request a new choice sooner if the available cookie categories or purposes materially change.
5. BROWSER CONTROLS
Most browsers allow you to block, restrict, or delete cookies. Browser settings may affect both essential and optional technologies. Disabling technologies that are necessary for account, checkout, course, or security functions may cause parts of the Website or Services to stop working correctly.
Instructions are generally available in your browser's privacy or cookie settings. Because browser interfaces change, consult the current support materials provided by your browser developer.
6. COOKIE DURATION
Cookie durations vary. Some expire when you close your browser, while others remain until their stated expiration date or until you delete them. Essential or security technologies may remain for the period reasonably necessary to maintain a session, prevent fraud, protect the Website, provide a requested transaction, or remember your preferences. Our cookie-choice record may be retained for up to 12 months. Optional cookie durations will be described through the cookie banner, preference tool, or an updated version of this Policy where appropriate after optional technologies are introduced.
We may retain server-side records related to consent, security, fraud prevention, transactions, or legal compliance for the periods described in our Privacy Policy. Deleting a browser cookie does not necessarily delete a related server-side record where retention remains permitted or required.
7. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the technologies we use, our Website, legal requirements, or our business practices. Updated versions become effective on the date shown at the top of this Policy. Where required by applicable law, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent before materially changing how optional cookies or similar technologies are used.
