How cookies keep the website and app working.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage, session storage, pixels, and SDKs, can also store or read information from your device. In this policy, "cookies" includes these similar technologies where relevant.

2. Our current approach

Aarubi Academy is designed to be privacy-conscious from the start. The public website is intended to work without advertising cookies or unnecessary tracking. The app may use essential cookies or similar technologies so students and parents can sign in, keep sessions secure, upload work, and review saved progress.

3. Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies and similar technologies are needed for core functions. They may be used for account sign-in, session management, security, fraud prevention, routing, remembering basic preferences, and keeping the app reliable.

Under UK cookie rules, strictly necessary cookies do not usually require consent, but we still explain them here so families understand why they are used.

4. Analytics cookies

We may want to understand how the website and app are performing, such as which pages are visited, whether uploads work, and where users experience errors. If analytics cookies or similar non-essential tracking are introduced, we will update this policy and use an appropriate consent or control mechanism where required.

5. Marketing and advertising cookies

Aarubi Academy does not currently use advertising cookies to track students or parents across websites. We do not use student data for targeted advertising. If that position changes, we will update this policy and ask for consent where required before non-essential marketing cookies are used.

6. Third-party technologies

Some essential app functions may be provided by third-party service providers, such as authentication, hosting, database, storage, security, AI, or payment providers. These services may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver their role.

If embedded content, analytics, payment checkout, or other third-party tools are added later, we will review whether additional cookie notices or consent controls are needed.

7. Managing cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete cookies, or receive warnings before cookies are stored. Blocking essential cookies may stop sign-in, uploads, saved progress, or other app features from working properly.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as Aarubi Academy grows, especially if analytics, payments, embedded content, or new app features are introduced. The updated date at the top of this page will show when the policy last changed.
