1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember information about you — your login state, your preferences, what's in your cart, and how you use the site. EdEarn uses cookies and similar technologies (localStorage, sessionStorage, fingerprinting tokens) to keep you signed in, remember your theme, measure traffic, and improve the platform.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly Necessary (always on) • Authentication: edearn-session, edearn-refresh, edearn-mfa • CSRF protection: edearn-csrf • Load balancing: AWSALB, AWSALBCORS You can't disable these — the Platform won't work without them. 2.2 Functional • Theme preference: edearn-theme (dark / light) • Language: edearn-locale • UI dismissals: edearn-banner-dismissed-* 2.3 Analytics • PostHog (product analytics): ph_* • Vercel Analytics: __vercel_* We use these to understand which features are used and which are broken. 2.4 Marketing (opt-in only) • Conversion tracking on landing pages — only set after you accept the cookie banner.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by services we use to run EdEarn: • Stripe / Razorpay — secure payment iframes • YouTube / Vimeo — embedded course videos • Cloudflare — DDoS protection and CDN • Google / GitHub / Apple — OAuth sign-in (only when you click those buttons) Each provider has its own privacy policy. We never share your personal data with these providers beyond what's needed to render their feature.
