Cookie Policy
Last Updated: September 25, 2025
Our Philosophy: A Commitment to Essential Cookies Only
Our commitment to privacy is absolute. We believe in **data minimization** and reject the widespread practice of using tracking cookies for advertising and analytics. Our platform is designed to be a trusted educational resource, not a data collection tool. We use only the most essential technologies required for our site to function and for you to purchase our educational materials. This policy is designed to be as clear and simple as our approach.
The Cookie Spectrum: Our Minimalist Approach
The chart below provides a transparent comparison of our cookie usage versus a typical e-commerce website. Our platform is built to function without relying on invasive tracking technologies.
What We Use & Why
To be completely transparent, our site uses a small number of “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. These are fundamental to the basic operation of the website and do not track you personally.
| Cookie Type | Our Use | Purpose & Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Essential & Functional Cookies | Yes | These are necessary for the site to function. This includes cookies from our e-commerce provider (e.g., Shopify, Gumroad) to enable shopping cart and checkout functionality. They remember what items you have added to your cart but do not track you across other sites. |
| Performance & Analytics Cookies | No | We do not use services like Google Analytics that track your individual behavior or collect your IP address. |
| Advertising & Targeting Cookies | No | We sell educational products, not advertisements. We do not host third-party ads or use any advertising trackers. |
E-commerce & Transactional Cookies
When you purchase an ebook from our site, our e-commerce platform requires the use of essential cookies to provide a functional and secure checkout experience. These cookies perform critical tasks such as:
- Remembering the items you have added to your shopping cart.
- Processing your payment securely through a third-party payment processor (e.g., Stripe, PayPal).
- Ensuring the security of your transaction and preventing fraud.
These cookies are strictly for the purpose of completing your purchase and are not used for tracking your behavior for advertising purposes. We do not have access to your full payment card information, as this is handled securely by our payment processors.
Your Choices and How to Control Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in your web browser. Most browsers have a “Help” section that will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Please note that disabling essential e-commerce cookies will prevent you from being able to purchase products on our site.
