Cookie Policy

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files stored on a browser or device when a person visits a website. Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels, tags, software-development-kit identifiers, and server logs. These technologies can remember preferences, maintain a session, protect account access, measure website performance, and help diagnose errors.

2. Technologies Used by the Website

Strictly necessary technologies

These technologies support essential functions such as security, fraud prevention, session management, checkout operation, account authentication, load balancing, and storage of privacy choices. Disabling them may prevent the website or course platform from functioning.

Preference technologies

Preference technologies may remember language, interface settings, accessibility choices, or other selections so that a returning visitor does not need to enter them repeatedly.

Analytics technologies

Limited analytics may be used to understand page views, navigation, device categories, general region, errors, and aggregate engagement. Analytics information helps evaluate whether the website is usable and whether educational pages are being found. Where required, nonessential analytics will be used only after consent.

Embedded-service technologies

Video hosting, payment, scheduling, course delivery, or other embedded providers may set their own cookies when their services are loaded or used. Those providers control their own technologies and privacy practices.

3. Information Collected

Cookie and similar technologies may collect or generate IP address, browser and device type, operating system, language, page URL, referring page, date and time, session identifier, interaction events, security information, approximate location, and account or transaction status. Motionforge Edit does not use cookies to access unrelated files on a visitor's device.

4. Why We Use These Technologies

• To keep the website and participant accounts secure.
• To maintain a login or course session.
• To remember choices and privacy settings.
• To complete checkout and prevent duplicate transactions.
• To diagnose performance, compatibility, and error conditions.
• To understand aggregate website use and improve navigation and content.
• To comply with legal obligations and document consent where required.

5. No Sale of Cookie Data

Motionforge Edit does not sell cookie data for money. We do not currently use website cookies for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising. If those practices materially change, this Policy and any legally required controls will be updated before the new practice begins.

6. Cookie Duration

Session cookies expire when the browser session ends or shortly afterward. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until deleted. Duration depends on the purpose and provider. Security and preference records may be kept longer than analytics identifiers where reasonably necessary.

7. Managing Cookies

Most browsers allow a user to view, block, or delete cookies. Browser instructions vary by provider and version. Blocking all cookies may prevent login, checkout, saved preferences, or other essential features from working. A visitor may also use any cookie preference tool displayed on the website to change nonessential choices.

8. Global Privacy Control and Opt-Out Signals

Where required by applicable law and technically supported, Motionforge Edit will process recognized browser-based opt-out signals for activities covered by those laws. Because the website does not currently sell personal data or use it for targeted advertising, an opt-out signal may not change the current website experience beyond preserving the user's preference.

9. Third-Party Platforms

Payment processors, course platforms, video providers, scheduling providers, and other third parties may use cookies for security, functionality, analytics, or their own legally permitted purposes. Their cookie use is governed by their policies. Motionforge Edit does not control cookies set directly by a third party after a participant visits that third party's website or platform.

10. Changes to This Policy

This Policy may be revised when technologies, providers, legal requirements, or website functions change. The effective and revision date will be updated when a new version is published. Material changes may be highlighted through the website or a consent interface where appropriate.
