Cookie Policy

What This Policy Covers

This page explains how Growthex Academy uses tracking technologies on growthexacademy.com. We're breaking down what happens when you visit our site, what data gets collected, and why it matters for your learning experience.

Look, most cookie policies are written by lawyers who've never actually built a website. This one's different. We'll tell you exactly what's happening behind the scenes.

How Tracking Works on Our Site

When you land on growthexacademy.com, your browser starts a conversation with our server. Small text files called cookies get stored on your device. Think of them as sticky notes that help us remember who you are and what you're interested in.

Some of these notes are essential. They keep you logged into your student dashboard and remember your course progress. Others help us understand which tutorials get the most attention or where students tend to get stuck in a module.

Types of Tracking We Use

Specific Cookies We Deploy

Instead of giving you vague categories, here's what's actually running on our site:

• session_token: Keeps you logged in while navigating between course pages. Expires when you close your browser.
• student_progress: Saves which lessons you've completed and where you are in each module. Lasts for 12 months.
• video_preferences: Remembers your playback settings, subtitle choices, and quality preferences. Stored for 6 months.
• analytics_id: Anonymous identifier that helps us track site usage patterns without knowing who you are personally. Active for 24 months.
• referral_source: Notes how you found us, whether through search, a partner site, or direct visit. Expires after 30 days.

Data Retention Periods

Different cookies stick around for different lengths of time. Here's the breakdown:

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You're not stuck with our default settings. Every major browser gives you control over what gets stored on your device.

But here's what happens if you block everything: you'll need to log in repeatedly, your course progress won't save between sessions, and video preferences will reset constantly. It's technically possible to use the site this way, just really annoying.

Third-Party Services

We use external platforms for video hosting, payment processing, and analytics. Each of these services places their own cookies when you interact with their embedded features.

For example, when you watch a tutorial video, the video platform might remember your volume settings and playback position. When you enroll in a course, the payment processor needs to verify your transaction securely.

These third parties have their own privacy policies that we don't control. We've vetted them for security and reliability, but you should know they're collecting their own data.

Updates to This Policy

We'll update this page when we add new features that require different tracking methods. Major changes get announced through email to enrolled students. Minor clarifications just get posted here with an updated date.

The last significant update was in February 2026 when we revised our analytics approach to be more privacy-focused.
