What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — for example, your language preference or whether you have accepted the cookie notice. Cookies are not programs and they cannot run code or carry viruses.
We use cookies to make the Akal Academy website work correctly, to understand how visitors use it, and to remember choices you have made.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies Always active
These cookies are required for the website to function. They handle session management and basic security. They do not track you across other sites. These cannot be disabled.
Duration: Session or up to 12 months
Analytics Cookies Optional
These help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are visited, how long people stay, and where they come from. The data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. We use this to improve the website and course content.
Duration: Up to 26 months | Provider: Google Analytics
Marketing Cookies Optional
These track your activity to help us show relevant advertising on other platforms. If you decline these, advertising may still appear but will be less relevant to your interests.
Duration: Up to 90 days | Providers: Meta Pixel, Google Ads
Preference Cookies Optional
These remember choices you make on the site — such as your cookie consent decision. Without them, you may be asked the same questions each visit.
Duration: Up to 12 months
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services we use. These include:
- Google Analytics — website usage tracking
- Google Ads — advertising performance measurement
- Meta (Facebook) Pixel — advertising reach and conversion tracking
These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.
