Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 2026
This policy explains what cookies Laurette Academy uses, why we use them, and the control you have over them.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and actions over time, so you don't have to re-enter information on each visit.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the platform to function. They keep you signed in, protect against cross-site request forgery, and ensure your session remains secure. You cannot opt out of essential cookies while using the platform.
| Cookie | Purpose |
|---|---|
| access_token | Short-lived JWT used to authenticate API requests. HttpOnly. |
| refresh_token | Long-lived opaque token used to obtain new access tokens. HttpOnly. |
| auth_state | Non-sensitive UI state (role, verified flag). Used by client-side components to render the correct navigation. |
Preference Cookies
We store your theme preference (light or dark mode) locally in your browser so your choice persists across sessions. No personal data is transmitted.
Analytics Cookies
We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand how users interact with the platform — such as which courses are most visited and where users drop off. Any analytics data is aggregated and anonymised.
Third-Party Cookies
Course video content may be hosted on third-party platforms. Those platforms may set their own cookies subject to their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with.
Managing Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from signing in and using the platform. For most browsers, the settings are found under Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies.
