What the site and connected services may store or record.
Cookies are small text files. Similar technologies include localStorage, temporary authentication state, pixels, and server logs. The details below distinguish what the current site stores from what a third-party service may use when you choose that service.
On your device
Course progress and preferences
The current site uses your browser's localStorage to remember course progress and module view preference. This information remains on your device and is not sent to us. Clearing site data removes it, and blocking localStorage may prevent these preferences from being remembered.
Conditional
Essential, security, and sign-in storage
Essential cookies or short-lived storage may be used when a feature requires them for security, session continuity, fraud prevention, or form protection. If account features are available and you choose Google or GitHub sign-in, the OAuth process may use temporary state, session, or security cookies to complete and protect that sign-in. Disabling these controls may stop the relevant feature from working.
Third-party
Payments and billing
Stripe hosts and secures payment, checkout, and customer-portal pages. When you use those pages, Stripe may set cookies or use similar storage for payment processing, authentication, fraud prevention, and security under Stripe's own policies and controls. We do not control Stripe-managed storage.
Third-party
Newsletter forms
Newsletter forms are processed by Buttondown. When you submit a form or interact with newsletter services, Buttondown may receive technical identifiers or use cookies and similar tools under its own policy. You can unsubscribe using the link in any newsletter.
Operations
Hosting and security logs
Our hosting, infrastructure, and security providers may record request logs, IP addresses, browser details, timestamps, error data, and security events. Logs are not necessarily cookies, but they are related technical data used to operate, troubleshoot, and protect the service.
Not enabled by default
Analytics and advertising
We do not currently intentionally deploy advertising cookies or cross-site advertising trackers. If aggregate analytics are enabled, we will use them to understand site performance and content usefulness, and will keep collection proportionate. We will update this policy and obtain consent before enabling non-essential cookies or tracking where applicable law requires it.
Your controls
Your browser controls can show, block, or delete cookies and site data. Browser help pages explain how to manage those settings and, where supported, limit third-party cookies. Blocking essential or security storage can prevent sign-in, checkout, customer-portal, forms, or saved preferences from working correctly.
Connected providers also offer their own privacy and account controls. Use the relevant provider's controls for storage placed on a Stripe, Buttondown, Google, or GitHub page.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy when site features or providers change. The version and effective date will be updated here. Before introducing future non-essential cookies or tracking, we will provide notice and request consent where required.
Questions about this policy can be sent to privacy@agenticdesign.school.
