This Cookie Policy explains how Learning Capital (“we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at learningcapital.site. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional context about how we handle personal data.

1. What Are Cookies and Why They Matter

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by websites to make them work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website owners. Cookies do not contain viruses or harmful code — they are simple data files that sit quietly on your device.

Beyond traditional cookies, we may also use related technologies including web beacons (small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page or email has been viewed), pixel tags, local storage objects, and session storage. Throughout this policy, we refer to all of these collectively as “cookies” for simplicity.

Understanding cookies matters because they directly affect your browsing experience and, in some cases, your privacy. We believe you deserve a clear, honest explanation of exactly what we place on your device, why, and how long it stays there.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on the Learning Capital platform:

Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core features such as logging into your account, maintaining your session as you navigate between pages, processing course enrollments, and securing the platform against unauthorized access. These cookies cannot be disabled without preventing the website from functioning properly, and they do not require your consent under applicable law.

Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information about which pages are visited most frequently, how long users spend on each page, and where users come from before arriving on our site. This data is aggregated and anonymized — it does not identify individual users. We use this information to improve the layout, content, and performance of our platform.

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your language preferences, your location settings, your job search filters, and whether you have previously dismissed certain notices or banners. These cookies enhance your experience by making the platform feel more personalized and reducing repetitive steps.

Third-party cookies may be placed on your device by external services that appear on our pages, such as embedded video players, social media sharing buttons, or external analytics tools. These cookies are governed by the privacy policies of the respective third parties, and we encourage you to review those policies directly.

3. Specific Cookies We Use and Their Duration

We maintain a current list of the cookies operating on our platform. Key examples include:

A session authentication cookie that identifies your logged-in session and expires when you close your browser. An account preferences cookie that stores your display language and notification settings, retained for up to twelve months. An analytics cookie that assigns a random identifier to your browser session to help us understand traffic patterns, retained for up to twenty-four months. A job search filter cookie that remembers your most recent search parameters for convenience, retained for thirty days. A consent record cookie that stores your cookie preferences so we do not display the consent banner on every visit, retained for twelve months.

The full, current list of cookies, including names, providers, purposes, and expiry dates, is available through the cookie preference center on our website, which you can access at any time via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of every page.

4. How We Use Cookie Data

The data collected through cookies is used strictly for the purposes described in this policy. We use analytics cookie data to measure the effectiveness of platform features, diagnose technical issues, and guide decisions about where to invest in improvements. We use functional cookie data solely to improve your individual experience on the platform.

We do not use cookie data to build advertising profiles, retarget you with ads on third-party websites, or sell insights about your behavior to data brokers or advertisers. Learning Capital does not operate an advertising network and has no interest in monetizing your browsing behavior outside of providing you with better education career services.

Where analytics tools process data on our behalf, those providers are contractually restricted from using your data for their own purposes and must process it only according to our documented instructions.

5. Third-Party Cookies and External Services

Some pages on our website include content or functionality provided by third parties. When you interact with embedded content — such as a YouTube video tutorial, a LinkedIn sharing button, or a Google Maps location embed — those third parties may place their own cookies on your device. These third-party cookies are not controlled by Learning Capital.

The third parties whose tools may place cookies on our platform include analytics service providers, video hosting platforms, and social media networks. Each of these providers has its own cookie policy and privacy policy, which we encourage you to review. We have made reasonable efforts to select third-party providers with strong privacy practices, but we cannot take responsibility for how those providers use data collected through their own cookies.

If you prefer to prevent third-party cookies entirely, you may use your browser’s privacy settings or install a reputable browser extension designed to block tracking technologies.

6. Your Cookie Choices and How to Manage Them

You have meaningful control over the cookies placed on your device. There are several ways to manage your preferences:

Through our cookie preference center: When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences by category. You can revisit and update these preferences at any time through the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer.

Through your browser settings: All modern browsers allow you to view, block, and delete cookies. Instructions for managing cookies in popular browsers are available through each browser’s help documentation. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the website from functioning correctly.

Through opt-out tools: For analytics cookies specifically, many providers offer browser-level opt-out tools. We will include links to relevant opt-out pages within our cookie preference center.

Your cookie preferences are stored on your device. If you clear your browser data or use a different device, you may need to set your preferences again.

7. Cookies and Children

As stated in our Privacy Policy, Learning Capital is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has accessed our platform and cookies have been placed on their device, please contact us at support@learningcapital.site so we can take appropriate action.

For users between the ages of 13 and 17, we recommend that a parent or guardian review this Cookie Policy and assist in managing cookie preferences where appropriate.

8. Cookies in Email Communications

In addition to cookies placed through our website, we may use web beacons in our email communications to understand whether emails were opened and whether links within them were clicked. This helps us measure the effectiveness of our communications and tailor future emails to be more relevant.

If you prefer not to have your email interactions tracked, you can disable image loading in your email client, which will prevent most web beacons from functioning. You can also unsubscribe from our marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link included at the bottom of every marketing message.

Transactional emails — such as application confirmations, course enrollment receipts, and password reset messages — cannot be disabled while your account is active, as they are necessary for the operation of the service.

9. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We review and update this Cookie Policy regularly to reflect changes in the cookies we use, the technologies available, and applicable legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document and, where appropriate, notify you through the cookie consent banner or by email.

We encourage you to check this page periodically to stay informed about our cookie practices. The most current version of this policy is always available at learningcapital.site.
