Cookie Policy

Last updated: January 2025

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. Think of them as tiny notes that help the website remember who you are and what you did during your last visit.

When you browse Lumen Verify, these files help us provide a better experience. They remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and help us understand how people use our platform so we can make it better.

Why We Use Them

We're not collecting data just to collect it. Cookies help us understand what's working and what isn't. If everyone's dropping off at a certain point in a masterclass, that tells us something's wrong.

They also make your life easier. Without cookies, you'd have to log in every time you clicked to a new page. Your course progress wouldn't save. The site wouldn't remember that you prefer dark mode or that you're halfway through a budgeting module.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These make the site work. They handle logins, security, and basic functionality. You can't turn these off because the platform wouldn't function without them.

Performance Cookies

These track how you use the site. Which masterclasses get the most views? Where do people get stuck? This helps us improve content and fix problems.

Functionality Cookies

These remember your preferences. Language settings, video quality, playback speed. Everything that makes the platform feel personalized to you.

Analytics Cookies

We use these to understand patterns. How long do people spend on financial forecasting lessons versus budgeting? What topics need more depth? This data shapes our content strategy.

How Long Cookies Last

Some cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others stick around longer because they need to remember things between visits.

Session cookies are temporary. They keep you logged in while you're browsing and vanish when you leave. Persistent cookies stay on your device for weeks or months, depending on what they're doing.

For example, if you tell the site to remember you, that cookie might last 30 days. Analytics cookies usually expire after two years. We don't keep them around longer than necessary.

Third-Party Cookies

We use some services that set their own cookies. Video hosting platforms, analytics tools, payment processors. These companies have their own privacy policies.

We vet every third-party service we use, but you should know they're there. If you want to understand what data they collect, check their documentation.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You control your cookies. Most browsers let you block them entirely, though that will break some features on most websites, including ours.

Here's what happens if you disable different types:

Block essential cookies: The site won't work. You can't log in or access courses.
Block performance cookies: We lose insight into what needs fixing, but you can still use everything.
Block functionality cookies: Your preferences won't save. You'll get default settings every visit.
Block analytics cookies: We won't know which content resonates, but your experience stays the same.

You can adjust these settings in your browser preferences. Chrome, Firefox, Safari—they all have cookie controls. Just search for "cookie settings" in your browser's help section.

Your Privacy Matters

We don't sell your data. Never have, never will. Cookies help us run a better platform, but they're not about monetizing your information.

If you have questions about what data we collect or how we use it, reach out. We're happy to explain exactly what's happening behind the scenes.
