Cookie Policy
Effective date: 1 April 2025
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences, maintain your session, and collect usage data. Similar technologies — such as local storage and session storage — work in comparable ways.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies for four purposes:
- Strictly necessary: Required for the Service to function. These cannot be disabled without breaking core features such as login.
- Functional: Remember your preferences (e.g. cookie consent, language) to improve your experience.
- Analytics: Help us understand how the platform is used so we can improve it. Data is processed by PostHog and is anonymised where possible.
- Security / fraud prevention: Set by Stripe to protect payment transactions.
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not serve third-party ads.

4. Your choices
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in or using the Service.
For analytics cookies (PostHog), you can opt out at any time by contacting us at legal@eduventurespace.com, and we will set an opt-out flag for your account.
Most browsers allow you to refuse all cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when cookies are set. Browser-specific instructions are available from your browser vendor's help documentation.
5. Third-party processors
The third-party services we use (Clerk, Stripe, PostHog) may set their own cookies according to their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review those policies:
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. We will post the updated policy on this page with a new effective date.
