Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 12, 2026

This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly. This page explains what cookies are, what types we use on the xavdrilo website, and how you can manage your preferences at any time.

1) What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They help a site remember information about your visit, such as whether you have accepted the cookie banner, your session continuity, and (where permitted) how you interact with pages. Cookies may be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third parties (third-party cookies) whose services we use for analytics and advertising measurement.

In addition to cookies, websites may use pixel tags or server-side event collection. Pixel tags are small snippets that can record events such as a page view or a form completion. Server-side tracking can send limited event data from our server environment to a provider for measurement. When we use analytics or marketing technologies, we do so only in line with your consent choices.

2) Cookie lifespans and sources

3) Cookie categories we use

Essential cookies (always active)

Essential cookies are required for the site to function properly. They support core features like basic session continuity and storing your cookie preference choice. Because these cookies are necessary to provide the website, they are active by default and cannot be switched off through our preference panel.

Analytics cookies (consent required)

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website so we can improve course information, navigation, and page performance. When enabled, we may use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with IP anonymization features. Analytics data is used in aggregate and is not intended to identify you directly.

Typical examples include how many visitors read the curriculum page, which sections are visited most, or whether users reach the registration form. These insights are used to improve clarity and reduce friction. If you do not consent, analytics cookies will not be set and analytics scripts should not run.

Marketing cookies (consent required)

Marketing cookies are used for advertising measurement and to show relevant messages on platforms such as Google and Meta. When enabled, they can support conversion attribution (for example, understanding whether a registration interest form was submitted after clicking an ad) and audience creation for remarketing or lookalike audiences. We do not use marketing cookies to make sensitive inferences.

Marketing cookies are only activated after you give consent through the cookie banner or cookie preferences panel. If you later withdraw consent, we will stop activating these cookies and you can delete them through browser settings.

We do not permit these providers to use site data for their own independent commercial purposes. Each provider may process data under its own privacy policy and contractual terms.
