Cookies

1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners about how visitors use the site.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use on the Aizen Academy website (aizenacademy.com), why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.

2. Cookies we use
Essential cookies: We use session and security cookies (such as session identifiers and CSRF tokens) provided by our hosting platform to enable basic website functionality, including form submissions, security protections, and page navigation. These cookies are required for the website to work and cannot be disabled.

‍Analytics cookies: We use Google Analytics cookies (_ga, ga*, _gid, _gat) to understand how visitors use our website — which pages are visited most, how long visitors stay, and where traffic comes from. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you. The _ga cookie expires after two years, _gid after 24 hours, and _gat after one minute.

‍Functional cookies: We use a cookie consent cookie to remember your cookie preferences so you are not asked to set them again on each visit.

3. Cookie categories explained
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be turned off. They handle things like form submissions, security tokens, and session management. Without them, the website would not work properly.

Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information about pages visited, time on site, and traffic sources. The data is aggregated and does not personally identify you. We use this information to improve our website and content.

Functional cookies
These cookies remember choices you make (such as your cookie consent preferences) to provide a more personalized experience. They do not track your browsing activity on other websites.

4. How to manage cookies
Cookie consent banner
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of our website.

Browser settings
Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically set your browser to block or delete cookies, or to alert you when a cookie is being set. Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites, including ours. For instructions on managing cookies in your browser, visit your browser's support page: Google Chrome (support.google.com/chrome), Mozilla Firefox (support.mozilla.org), Safari (support.apple.com/safari), Microsoft Edge (support.microsoft.com).

Opting out of analytics
You can opt out of Google Analytics specifically by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

5. Other tracking technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons (pixel tags) in emails to understand whether emails are opened and which links are clicked. This helps us improve our communications. You can prevent web beacons from loading by disabling images in your email client, though this may affect your experience.

6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for regulatory, operational, or legal reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
