Cookies on the marketing site (aiexpertacademy.courses)

The marketing site uses optional analytics cookies and similar technologies from PostHog (product analytics) and Google Analytics (website analytics) to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. These are non-essential and are set only after you give consent; until you consent, they are not active. We do not place advertising cookies on this domain.

The marketing site also sets one functional first-party cookie, "aea_ref", when you arrive through a referral or partner link (a "ref" code in the web address). It stores only that short referral code for up to 30 days so that, if you return later to make a purchase, we can credit the partner who referred you. It holds no personal data, is never shared with third parties, and is not used for advertising or cross-site tracking. Because it is functional rather than analytics, it is set without requiring consent.

The site is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may process your IP address and standard HTTP request headers for the purpose of serving pages and protecting against abuse. This processing occurs at the network layer and does not involve cookies stored on your device.

Cookies on the learning platform (app.aiexpertacademy.courses)

The learning platform sets only strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential to the operation of the platform — without them you cannot log in, maintain a session, or access your courses.

Strictly necessary cookies include session and authentication cookies set by WorkOS (our sign-in provider) and application session cookies set by the platform itself. These cookies do not track you across other websites and are not used for advertising or analytics purposes.

Stripe, our payment processor, may set cookies on the checkout flow to detect fraud and ensure payment security. These cookies are strictly necessary for the payment transaction to complete.

All strictly necessary cookies are either session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or short-lived persistent cookies (expiring within 1 year). No tracking or profiling cookies are used.

Cookie categories

Strictly necessary — cookies that are essential for the site or platform to function. These cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality such as login and session management. They are always active.

Functional — a first-party cookie ("aea_ref") that remembers a referral or partner code so that a later purchase can be correctly attributed to the partner who referred you. It is essential to that referral feature, contains no personal data, and is not used for analytics or advertising.

Analytics — optional cookies set by PostHog and Google Analytics on the marketing site to measure usage and improve the site. These are non-essential and are set only with your consent.

We do not use advertising or cross-site marketing cookies, or any other tracking technologies beyond those described above.

Consent and control

Strictly necessary and functional cookies may be set without prior consent. Analytics cookies are non-essential, so we ask for your consent before setting them and they remain inactive unless you opt in; you can withdraw your consent at any time.

You can also disable cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse all cookies or to refuse third-party cookies only. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in to the learning platform.

For instructions on how to manage cookies in your browser, consult the help documentation for your specific browser (for example: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge).

Changes to this cookie policy

We may alter this cookie policy at any time. Any changes will become binding on your first use of the site after the changes have been made. You are advised to check this page from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the current version and any previous version, the current version prevails.
