Cookie policy

Cookies are small text files placed on a computer, phone, tablet, or other device when a person visits a website. Cookies allow a website to recognize a browser or device, maintain a secure login session, remember settings, process transactions, understand how the website is used, and support advertising and measurement.

Category What it does Consent and control Strictly necessary Supports authentication, security, fraud prevention, checkout, payment processing, load balancing, cookie preferences, and delivery of requested services.

The Academy provides instruction videos and other digital media through the LearnWorlds platform. Videos uploaded directly to LearnWorlds may use LearnWorlds' own platform technologies, session identifiers, local storage, or similar technologies to:

These technologies may operate as part of the LearnWorlds platform rather than through separately named video-provider cookies. Where they are necessary to deliver purchased course content, authenticate students, preserve course progress, or secure the platform, they are classified as strictly necessary or functional technologies. 

The Academy does not currently use Vimeo to deliver its course videos. Accordingly, Vimeo cookies such as vuid and player are not included in the Academy's current cookie inventory.

If the Academy later embeds content from Vimeo, YouTube, Wistia, or another third-party media provider, that provider may place cookies or use similar technologies when a user views or interacts with the embedded content. The Academy will update this Cookie Policy and, where required, obtain consent before activating nonessential third-party media technologies.

Provider	Category	Purpose	Typical Duration
LearnWorlds	Strictly necessary / functional	Delivers protected video content, verifies student access, maintains playback functionality, and supports course-progress tracking.	Session or for the period configured by LearnWorlds
LearnWorlds	Analytics, where enabled	Measures video engagement, lesson activity, and course completion to help administer and improve Academy content.	Varies according to platform configuration

If Google Analytics 4 is enabled and the visitor provides any consent required by law, Google may use cookies and related measurement technologies to help us understand visits, registrations, purchases, course engagement, device and browser characteristics, approximate location derived from IP address, and website performance. Google may receive online identifiers and even information. We configure analytics and consent settings consistent with available LearnWorlds and Google .

Name of Cookie	Provider	Purpose	Typical Duration
_ga	Google Analytics	Google Analytics: Registers a unique ID that is used to generate statistical data on how the visitor uses the website.	2 years
_gat	Google Analytics	Google Analytics: Used by Google Analytics to throttle the request rate.	When you close your browser
_gid	Google Analytics	Google Analytics: Registers a unique ID that is used to generate statistical data on how the visitor uses the website.	When you close your browser
_ga_<container-id>	Google Analytics	Used to persist session state.	2 years

The exact Google cookie names may include a property or container identifier. Google may update its cookies, duration, or measurement methods. Google's own privacy documentation describes its independent practices.

If Meta Pixel or Meta server-side event tools are enabled and the visitor provides any consent required by law, we and Meta may process information about page views, registrations, purchases, course-related events, browser or device information, and advertising identifiers. This helps measure advertising performance, attribute conversions, limit or personalize advertising, and create or use advertising audiences.

Cookie / technology	Provider	Category	Purpose	Typical Duration
_fbp	Meta	Advertising	Identifies browsers for advertising delivery, attribution, and measurement.	Approximately 90 days
_fbc	Meta	Advertising	Stores information derived from a Meta advertising click identifier when a visitor reaches the Academy through a qualifying Meta ad.	Approximately 90 days
Meta-domain cookies	Meta	Advertising / security	If a visitor is logged into or uses Meta services, Meta may use its own cookies for account, security, measurement, and advertising purposes.	Varies by cookie and user settings
Meta server-side events	Meta	Advertising	May transmit permitted registration, purchase, or interaction events without relying solely on browser cookies.	Not necessarily stored as a browser cookie

Meta may combine information received from the Academy with information it receives through its services, subject to Meta’s terms, privacy policy, and user settings. Rejecting advertising cookies will prevent browser-based Meta Pixel activation where our consent tools support that choice, although previously collected data and independent Meta activity remain governed by Meta.

The Academy does not currently use Klaviyo. We anticipate implementing Klaviyo to support email communications, subscriber-preference management, signup forms, audience segmentation, campaign measurement, and related marketing activities.

Technology	Provider	Type / category	Purpose
__kla_id	Klaviyo	First-party; marketing/analytics	Assigns an identifier to a browser and may associate website activity with a Klaviyo subscriber profile after the visitor identifies themselves, such as by submitting a form or following a link from an email.
kl-post-identification-sync	Klaviyo	First-party local storage or similar technology; marketing/analytics	May temporarily retain consented anonymous browsing activity so that it can be associated with a Klaviyo profile after the visitor identifies themselves.
Klaviyo signup-form and preference technologies	Klaviyo	Functional and marketing	Display signup forms, remember form interactions, manage subscriber preferences, prevent repetitive displays, and record permitted consent or subscription activity.
Email pixels and link-tracking technologies	Klaviyo	Marketing/analytics	Measure email delivery, opens, clicks, engagement, and campaign performance and help personalize future communications, where permitted by applicable law and the recipient’s settings.

When Klaviyo is implemented, the Academy may collect or transmit information such as email address, subscription status, consent records, campaign interactions, website activity, device and browser information, IP address, pages viewed, purchases, course interests, and related identifiers. We will use this information to administer subscriptions, provide requested communications, evaluate campaign performance, segment audiences, personalize communications, and send marketing where permitted.

LearnWorlds’ generic template includes cookies for numerous optional integrations. Unless we later activate and disclose them, the Academy does not intend to use cookies from services such as Olark, TawkTo, Freshchat, Zendesk, Intercom, Mixpanel, BDOW/Sumo, HubSpot, Refersion, Fomo, TikTok Pixel, or Google Ads. If one of these or another service is enabled, we will update our disclosures and consent configuration as required.

Where required, nonessential functional, analytics, and advertising technologies will not be activated until you take an affirmative action to consent. Strictly necessary technologies may operate without consent because they are required to provide the website or service you requested, maintain security, remember privacy choices, or complete payment.

The Academy's cookie banner or preference center is intended to provide the following choices:

LearnWorlds allows registered users to revisit cookie choices through Account → Notifications & Privacy → Edit. Where displayed, you may also use a “Cookie Settings” link. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred lawfully before withdrawal.

Rejecting nonessential cookies should not prevent access to core purchased content, but it may affect optional functionality, embedded content, remembering preferences, analytics, or advertising relevance.

Most browsers allow you to view, delete, block, or limit cookies. Blocking all cookies may prevent account login, checkout, video delivery, or other Academy functions. Browser controls may not block pixels, local storage, server-side events, or every type of tracking technology.

We do not sell personal information for money. However, the use of advertising or analytics providers may be considered “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under certain U.S. state privacy laws. Where such laws apply to our processing, you may opt out through available cookie controls, a recognized opt-out signal where required, or by contacting us at info@thefrenchnp.com. Whether a particular legal right applies depends on your jurisdiction and whether the law covers our business and processing.

Providers may add, remove, rename, or change cookies, durations, or technical methods. We may also add or remove Academy features and integrations. We will periodically review the cookies used through the Academy and update this Policy when appropriate. Material changes will receive additional notice or consent where required by law. The “Last updated” date shows when this Policy was most recently revised.
