Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how LearnSphere Academy ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, learnsphereacademy.com (the "Website"). By using our Website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in our data practices. This policy aims to provide you with clear and comprehensive information about the cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the website owners.

Cookies can be either "persistent" or "session" cookies:

  • Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
  • Session cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser.

Cookies can also be categorized based on their purpose:

  • First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting.
  • Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. This typically occurs when a website incorporates elements from other sites, such as social media plugins or advertising networks.

Cookies serve a variety of functions, including remembering your preferences, tracking your browsing activity, and providing personalized content and advertisements. They can also be used to analyze website traffic and improve the user experience.
