This Cookie Policy explains how Skhillz Academy, LLC uses cookies and similar technologies on its websites, portals, and online services.
1. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
Cookies are small files or records stored on or associated with a browser or device. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, tags, scripts, software development kits, and identifiers.
These technologies may remember preferences, maintain login sessions, secure transactions, measure performance, support media, or help understand use of the Services.
2. Cookie Categories
Strictly necessary
These technologies support requested functions such as:
- Account login and authentication
- Session continuity
- Security, fraud prevention, and load balancing
- Shopping cart and checkout
- Consent choices
- Accessibility preferences
They cannot ordinarily be disabled through the consent panel because the requested Service may not function without them. Users may restrict them through browser settings, but features may fail.
Functional
These remember choices and enable enhanced functions such as language, display settings, media preferences, or support tools. Where required, they remain disabled until consent.
Analytics and performance
These help us understand traffic, errors, feature use, and performance. We should configure analytics to minimize data, limit retention, avoid child profiling, and honor consent requirements.
Advertising and social media
These may measure campaigns, support embedded social features, or personalize advertising. They must remain disabled until valid consent where required.
Skhillz Academy does not permit targeted or behavioral advertising technologies in child-directed member areas and does not use a child’s personal information for targeted advertising.
3. Technologies We May Use
The live cookie inventory in the Cookie Preferences panel is the authoritative current list. It should identify:
- Cookie or technology name
- Provider
- Purpose
- Category
- Duration
- Whether it is first-party or third-party
- Link to provider information when appropriate
Potential providers may include the website host, authentication and database services, Stripe, Zoom, embedded media providers, analytics services, customer-support tools, and communication services. A provider must not be listed as active until the implementation team verifies actual use.
4. Consent
Where required, nonessential technologies are disabled until the user makes an affirmative choice. Closing or ignoring the banner is not consent.
Users must be able to:
- Accept all optional categories
- Reject all optional categories as easily as accepting them
- Choose by category
- Review detailed information
- Withdraw or change consent through the persistent Cookie Preferences link
Withdrawal applies prospectively. Previously collected information may be retained when lawfully necessary.
5. Children
Child-facing areas use only technologies reasonably necessary for operation, safety, accessibility, or the requested educational service unless a parent or guardian provides any legally required permission.
We do not use cookies to create advertising profiles of children, target children with behavioral advertising, or encourage children to weaken privacy settings.
6. Browser and Device Controls
Browsers and devices may allow users to delete or block cookies. Blocking essential cookies may prevent login, checkout, video, saved progress, or security features.
Where legally required and technically feasible, we honor recognized browser-based opt-out signals for covered processing. A browser signal does not replace consent for a user who later affirmatively chooses a different setting where law permits.
7. Third-Party Content
Embedded videos, payment tools, maps, forms, chat, or other integrations may set third-party technologies. Nonessential embeds should be blocked or replaced with a consent placeholder until permission is obtained where required.
Third-party providers maintain their own policies. Skhillz Academy selects and configures providers but does not control every independent third-party practice.
8. Retention
Cookie duration should be limited to what the function requires and disclosed in the preference panel. Consent records should be retained long enough to demonstrate and honor the user’s choice.
9. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy and the cookie inventory when technologies or laws change. Material new purposes may require renewed consent.
