Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 1, 2026
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how LearnCenter LLC (“Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website learncenter.dev (the “Site”). This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
We show a cookie-choice prompt when no preference has been saved and remember your explicit Accept or Decline choice for up to 1 year using a first-party consent cookie. You can manage your cookie preferences using the methods described below.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners.
Cookies can be categorized by:
- Duration: Session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them)
- Origin: First-party cookies (set by us) or third-party cookies (set by external services we use)
- Purpose: Essential, functional, analytics, or marketing cookies
3. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
3.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the Site to function and cannot be disabled. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and remembering your cookie consent preferences.
3.2 Analytics Cookies
We only load optional Google Analytics scripts and send analytics-based page, CTA, and web-vitals events after you explicitly accept. If you decline, we keep those optional analytics scripts and events disabled.
4. Cookies We Use
| Cookie Name | Provider | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | LearnCenter | Essential | Stores your cookie consent preference (accepted/declined) | 1 year |
| Optional analytics cookies from Google Analytics | Google Analytics | Analytics | May be set by Google after you accept analytics cookies on the site | Provider-defined |
5. Third-Party Cookies
We only load Google Analytics after you accept analytics cookies. When analytics is enabled, Google may set its own cookies and receive event data about page views, CTA clicks, and web-vitals measurements.
If you do not accept analytics cookies, we still store your consent preference, but we do not load Google Analytics or related analytics cookies. For information on how Google uses data when Analytics is enabled, see Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses cookies.
You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
6. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom (UK), we rely on the following legal bases for using cookies:
- Essential Cookies: Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests in operating a secure and functional website (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR)
- Analytics Cookies: Processing is based on your explicit consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw consent at any time through our cookie consent banner or browser settings
We do not use cookies for profiling or automated decision-making that produces legal effects concerning you.
7. Data Protection and Storage
Cookie data is protected through:
- SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers
- Secure cookie attributes (SameSite, Secure flags where applicable)
- Limited retention periods as specified in the cookie table above
When optional analytics is enabled, analytics data is limited to browser-side usage and performance signals routed through Google Analytics after consent. We do not use the cookie prompt to collect directly identifying personal information such as names or email addresses.
8. Global Privacy Control
We do not currently respond automatically to Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals on this website. If you want analytics to remain off, choose Decline in our cookie prompt or block non-essential cookies in your browser.
If you use a browser or extension that supports GPC, you can still enable it at globalprivacycontrol.org as part of your broader privacy setup, but this site's consent state is controlled by your explicit Accept or Decline choice.
9. International Data Transfers
If optional Google Analytics is enabled and you accept, analytics data may be transferred to and processed by Google LLC in the United States. Google participates in data transfer mechanisms that provide adequate protection for such transfers, including Standard Contractual Clauses.
For more information about how Google handles international data transfers, see Google's data transfer frameworks.
