1) Scope and relationship to our Privacy Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Day 3 Academy LLC (“Day 3 Academy,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on day3academy.com and learn.day3academy.com. It works together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal information.

2) What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. We also use similar technologies such as pixels and local storage to operate features, understand usage, and, if you allow it, measure advertising.

3) Our cookie categories

Strictly Necessary (always on): required for core site and course functions, security, authentication, and fraud prevention.
Analytics & Performance (opt‑out available): helps us understand site usage and improve pages, funnels, and course delivery.
Advertising & Retargeting (sale/share): builds or measures audiences for ads. Treated as “sell/share” for U.S. state privacy laws; you can opt out and we honor Global Privacy Control (GPC).
Diagnostics & Experience (opt‑in): optional tools like limited A/B testing, session replay (with masking), and error monitoring.

4) Your choices and how to control cookies

Banner and preferences: On first visit you’ll see a notice with options to accept all or manage preferences. You can change choices any time using the “Your Privacy Choices / Cookie Settings” link in our footer.
Global Privacy Control (GPC): If your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as an opt‑out of Advertising & Retargeting and record that preference.
Browser settings: You can set your browser to block or delete cookies; some features may not work without essential cookies.
Email marketing: Use the unsubscribe link in our emails to stop non‑transactional messages.
Do Not Sell/Share: We provide a link in the footer that lets you opt out of Advertising & Retargeting when applicable.

5) How we use categories

Strictly Necessary: always active; limited to essential operation (authentication, security, load balancing).
Analytics & Performance: used to measure usage and improve content; where available, we enable privacy‑protective settings such as IP truncation or aggregation.
Advertising & Retargeting: used only when permitted by your preferences and never to send plain‑text personal identifiers in ad events. We avoid including sensitive fields (e.g., full email) in URLs or pixels.
Diagnostics & Experience: off by default; if enabled, we mask keystrokes and sensitive content and sample sessions sparingly.

6) Retention

We keep non‑essential cookies no longer than necessary for their purpose. Typical defaults: Analytics 14–26 months; Advertising 90–180 days; Strictly Necessary as needed for the session or security.

7) Cross‑domain preferences

When supported by our consent tools, we apply your preferences across day3academy.com and learn.day3academy.com so you don’t have to choose twice on the same browser.

8) Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The effective date above shows when it was last revised.
