Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that a website places in your browser when you visit it. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — such as whether you are logged in — across multiple pages and sessions.

• Cookies are stored by your browser on your device, not on our servers directly.
• They are used to maintain login sessions, remember user preferences, and improve your overall experience.
• Cookies are standard and universal practice across all modern websites — from banks to news sites to educational platforms.
• You can view, manage, and delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.

Lumena Academy uses cookies for two purposes: essential platform functionality and advertising that supports our free educational content.

• Essential cookies: A small number of cookies are required for authentication and session management.
• Advertising cookies: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites on the Internet.
• We do not sell your personal data (name, email, address) to advertisers.
• Your learning progress data is stored in your browser's localStorage — not in cookies — and never leaves your device.
• You can manage or opt out of personalised advertising at any time (see Section 7).

The table below lists the cookies used on learnenglishwithus.org:

Advertising cookies are set by third-party vendors, including Google, and are not directly controlled by Lumena Academy. These cookies allow advertisers to serve ads relevant to your interests based on your visits to this site and other sites on the Internet. For information on how to opt out, see Section 7.

We make extensive use of your browser's localStorage to track your learning progress. This is fundamentally different from cookies — localStorage data never leaves your device.

The following data is stored in localStorage on your device:

• Lesson scores and exercise completion status for all courses
• Grammar mastery levels across all grammar topics
• Your daily learning streak and last activity date
• Your chosen learning goal (set during onboarding)
• UI preferences such as language display settings

You can clear all localStorage data at any time: open your browser settings, navigate to Settings → Privacy and Security → Clear browsing data, and select Cached images and files and Site data / Local storage. Note that this will reset your learning progress on this device.

We may use anonymised analytics to understand how learners navigate and use the platform, so we can improve lesson content, fix usability issues, and enhance the learning experience.

• Analytics data is aggregated — we study overall usage patterns, not individual user behaviour.
• Where possible, analytics data is anonymised before being processed.
• We do not sell analytics data to third parties under any circumstances.
• Analytics are used exclusively to improve the educational platform — not for advertising or profiling.
• You can opt out of analytics tracking by using a browser privacy extension such as uBlock Origin, or by enabling Firefox Enhanced Tracking Protection or Safari Intelligent Tracking Prevention.

Third-party services integrated into this platform may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies. The main third parties are:

• Google AdSense: Google uses cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the Internet. Google may collect information about your browsing activity to display personalised advertisements. Google's use of advertising cookies is governed by Google's Privacy Policy (policies.google.com/privacy).
• YouTube: If you interact with embedded YouTube videos or follow links to YouTube, Google/YouTube may set additional cookies on your browser.
• Stripe: When payment processing is enabled, Stripe may set cookies during checkout only. Stripe's cookies are essential for secure payment handling and are governed by Stripe's Cookie Policy.
• We do not integrate social media tracking pixels (Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, etc.).

You can control, disable, or delete cookies through your browser settings. Below are instructions for the most common browsers:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

Important: disabling the essential cookies (__Host-refresh and __session) will prevent you from staying logged in to your account. All free lesson content remains accessible without cookies.

localStorage data can be cleared separately in your browser's developer tools (F12 → Application → Local Storage) or through your browser's privacy settings when clearing site data.
