Cookie Policy

INTRODUCTION
This Cookie Policy (the "Policy") explains how LastingLearn Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with the Service. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Policy have the meanings given in the Terms of Service (the "Terms"). This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Notice and the Terms.

1 - SCOPE
This Policy applies to the Service, meaning the LastingLearn software-as-a-service platform and all associated websites, mobile/desktop apps, APIs, integrations, plugins, and third‑party tools we make available or authorize.

2 - DEFINITIONS
• "Cookies" — Small text files placed on your device by your browser that allow the Service to recognize your device and remember certain information.
• "Similar Technologies" — Technologies used for comparable purposes, including local storage, SDKs, web beacons, and pixels. We refer to cookies and Similar Technologies collectively as "cookies."
• "Strictly Necessary Cookies" — Cookies required for core functionality (e.g., login, security, routing, and session management). The Service cannot function properly without these.
• "Preference/Functionality Cookies" — Cookies that remember choices (e.g., language, theme, media or accessibility settings) to improve your experience. These are non‑essential and may require consent depending on location.
• "Cookie Settings" — The in‑product controls where you can review, accept, reject, and update cookie preferences.

3 - AT A GLANCE
• We use strictly necessary cookies and limited preference/functionality cookies.
• We do not use advertising cookies, cross‑site trackers, social‑media profiling pixels, or third‑party analytics cookies unrelated to Service operation.
• Where the law requires consent for non‑essential cookies (e.g., EU/EEA/UK), we obtain it before setting those cookies. It is as easy to reject as to accept. You can change choices at any time via Cookie Settings.

4 - WHY WE USE COOKIES
• Authentication and Session Management — Keep you signed in as you navigate the Service, maintain session integrity, enable CSRF protection, and support load balancing.
• Security and Fraud Prevention — Help detect, prevent, and respond to suspicious activity.
• User Preferences and State — Remember choices such as language, theme, and accessibility settings so the Service works as expected.
Note: We do not use cookies for advertising, cross‑site tracking, or profiling. We do not allow third parties to set advertising or social‑media profiling cookies through the Service.

5 - TYPES OF COOKIES WE SET
• Strictly Necessary (first‑party) — Essential to provide the Service (e.g., login, account security, essential routing). These do not require consent.
• Preference/Functionality (first‑party) — Improve your experience by remembering settings (e.g., language, theme, media/autoplay). These may require consent depending on your location.

6 - LEGAL BASES AND CONSENT (EU/EEA/UK AND WHERE APPLICABLE)
• Strictly Necessary Cookies — Our legitimate interests in delivering and securing the Service and/or performance of a contract (providing features you request).
• Preference/Functionality Cookies — Your consent, obtained through our banner/controls where required. Consent is granular and freely given. It is not obtained through inactivity, continued browsing, or cookie walls. You may withdraw consent at any time via Cookie Settings.

7 - YOUR CHOICES AND CONTROLS
• Cookie Banner and Settings — On first visit (and periodically thereafter), you can Accept all, Reject all, or Save choices in Cookie Settings. Options are presented with equal prominence.
• Change/Withdraw Consent — Update preferences at any time in Cookie Settings. If you clear cookies, you may need to set preferences again.
• Browser/Device Controls — Most browsers let you view, delete, or block cookies (including third‑party cookies). Blocking strictly necessary cookies may impair core features, including login.
• Global Privacy Control (GPC) and U.S. State Laws — We do not "sell" or "share" personal information via cookies for cross‑context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined by California law. If our practices change, we will honor recognized opt‑out preference signals where required by law and provide in‑product opt‑out options.

8 - COOKIE LIFESPAN AND RETENTION OF CHOICES
• Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.
• Persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them. Our persistent preference cookies generally last up to 12 months.
• We retain a record of your consent choices for a reasonable period to demonstrate compliance and to avoid prompting you too frequently.

9 - COOKIE DETAILS (EXAMPLES)
Actual cookies may vary by product, device, and release. The current set is available in Cookie Settings. Examples of first‑party cookies include:
• ll_session — Strictly necessary — Maintains authenticated session and CSRF protection — Session.
• ll_route — Strictly necessary — Load balancing and request routing — Session.
• ll_pref_theme — Preference — Remembers light/dark theme — Up to 12 months.
• ll_pref_lang — Preference — Remembers language selection — Up to 12 months.
If we introduce additional categories (e.g., analytics or advertising), we will update this Policy and, where required, request consent before setting such cookies.

10 - REGION‑SPECIFIC NOTES
• EU/EEA/UK — We seek consent for non‑essential cookies in line with applicable guidance. You can withdraw consent at any time via Cookie Settings.
