This Cookie Policy explains how Lypad Academy LLC ("Lypad Academy," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at lypadacademy.com (the "Website"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
By continuing to use our Website after being presented with our cookie consent banner, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy. You may withdraw or adjust your consent at any time.
1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies allow a website to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and collect certain information about how you interact with our pages.
We also use related technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage, which function similarly to cookies and are collectively referred to as "cookies" in this policy.
Cookies can be:
- First-party cookies — set directly by Lypad Academy when you visit our Website.
- Third-party cookies — set by external services (e.g., Google Analytics) that we integrate into our Website.
Session cookies are temporary and deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
2. TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE
Essential Cookies (Always Active)
These cookies are strictly necessary for our Website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure login, and access to your account. Without these cookies, services you have asked for — like accessing your purchased course — cannot be provided. They do not require your consent and cannot be switched off.
Analytics & Performance Cookies (Optional)
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Website — which pages are visited most often, where visitors come from, and whether any errors occur. All data collected is aggregated and anonymized. We use this information to improve the Website's content, structure, and performance. We currently use Google Analytics for this purpose.
Functional Cookies (Optional)
Functional cookies allow the Website to remember choices you have made — such as your language preferences, display settings, or form auto-fill data — so we can provide a more personalized experience. Disabling these cookies may reduce the comfort and personalization of your visit.
Advertising & Targeting Cookies (Optional)
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They help us limit how often you see an advertisement and measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. They may be set through our Website by advertising partners who build a profile of your interests based on your browsing activity.
Security Cookies (Always Active)
We use security-related cookies, including those set by Cloudflare, to authenticate users, protect against unauthorized access, detect and prevent fraudulent activity, and ensure the integrity of our Website. These cookies are essential for maintaining the security of your account and data.
3. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
Some cookies on our Website are set by trusted third-party services. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.
