Cookie Policy | EdCommit

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and provide you with a personalised experience. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags — we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies" in this policy.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services that appear on our platform. These include: Stripe (payment processing — stripe.com), Supabase (database and authentication — supabase.com), and analytics tools. These services have their own cookie policies and we encourage you to review them.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for managing cookies. Most browsers allow you to: view and delete individual cookies; block all or specific cookies; set preferences for specific websites; be notified when a cookie is set. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of EdCommit. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled as they are essential for the platform to function. To manage cookies in your browser, visit your browser settings (usually under Privacy, Security, or Advanced). For detailed instructions, visit the help pages for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers support a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Because there is not yet a consistent industry standard for responding to DNT signals, EdCommit does not currently respond to DNT browser settings.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last Updated" date and, where appropriate, by email.
