Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website can place on your device. Some websites also use similar technologies, such as your browser's local storage, for comparable purposes.

2. Essential Local Storage

We use your browser's local storage — not a cookie — to remember the choice you make in our cookie banner (accept or reject), so it does not reappear on every visit. This is strictly necessary to operate the consent banner itself and is not affected by your choice.

3. Third-Party Cookies (Stripe Checkout)

When you proceed to payment, you are redirected to a secure checkout page hosted by our payment provider, Stripe, on its own domain. Stripe may set cookies on that page that are necessary to process your payment securely and prevent fraud. These cookies are set and controlled by Stripe, not by H5 AI Academy — see Stripe's own cookie and privacy policies for details.

4. Analytics & Advertising Cookies (Subject to Your Consent)

We use Google Analytics (GA4) and, where enabled, Google Tag Manager and Google Ads to measure site traffic and the performance of our marketing campaigns. These set cookies such as _ga, _ga_* and _gid (Google Analytics) or _gcl_au and IDE (Google Ads).

None of these cookies are set until you click "Accept" in the cookie banner. By default, Google's Consent Mode keeps analytics and advertising storage denied for every visitor. If you click "Reject", these cookies stay off and only the essential local storage described in Section 2 is used.

5. Managing Your Preferences

You can withdraw or change your consent at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or site data for this website from your browser settings — the cookie banner will reappear on your next visit so you can make a new choice.
