Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 13, 2024
This Cookie Policy explains how kelupuu ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or interact with our platform at kelupuu.com. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.
By continuing to use our platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. Where your consent is required, we will ask for it separately through our cookie preference interface.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — computer, tablet, or mobile phone — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the owners of the site.
Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device. They simply store a small amount of data that can be read by the website that issued them.
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, local storage objects, and session storage. For simplicity, all such technologies are referred to collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorise the cookies used on our platform into the following types based on their function and duration.
2.1 By Duration
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Session Cookies | Temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your browser session. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser. |
| Persistent Cookies | Cookies that remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually. They are activated each time you visit the platform. |
2.2 By Origin
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| First-Party Cookies | Cookies set directly by kelupuu when you visit our platform. |
| Third-Party Cookies | Cookies set by external services or partners whose functionality is embedded in our platform, such as analytics or payment providers. |
2.3 By Purpose
| Category | Purpose | Consent Required |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Essential for the platform to function. Without these cookies, services such as account login, session management, and security cannot be provided. | No |
| Functional | Enable enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering your language preference, display settings, or workshop progress. | Yes |
| Analytics and Performance | Help us understand how visitors interact with the platform by collecting aggregated, anonymised data about pages visited, time spent, and errors encountered. | Yes |
| Marketing and Targeting | Used to deliver relevant promotional content and to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns across external channels. | Yes |
3. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the core operation of our platform and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, completing a form, or adjusting your privacy settings.
Examples of what these cookies enable include:
— Maintaining your authenticated session while you navigate between pages
— Storing your cookie consent preferences so you are not asked repeatedly
— Preventing fraudulent use of your account through security tokens
— Load balancing to ensure stable platform performance
Because these cookies are technically necessary, they do not require your consent and cannot be disabled through our cookie preference centre. You may disable them through your browser settings, but doing so will impair or prevent your use of the platform.
4. Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the platform to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalised features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have integrated.
Examples of what these cookies enable include:
— Remembering your selected interface language
— Saving your progress within multi-step assignments and exercises
— Storing display preferences such as text size or theme
— Recognising you as a returning learner and restoring your workspace state
If you do not allow functional cookies, some or all of these features may not function correctly, and you may need to re-enter your preferences each time you visit.
5. Analytics and Performance Cookies
We use analytics cookies to collect information about how our platform is used. This data helps us improve the structure, content, and performance of our learning environment. All information collected through analytics cookies is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
Data collected may include:
— Pages and features visited during a session
— Time spent on individual exercises or modules
— Referral source indicating how you arrived at the platform
— Technical information such as browser type, device category, and screen resolution
— Error events and performance bottlenecks
We may use third-party analytics providers to process this data on our behalf. Such providers are contractually obligated to use the data solely for the purposes of providing analytics services to us and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.
6. Marketing and Targeting Cookies
Marketing cookies may be placed on your device through our platform by us or by our advertising partners. They are used to build a profile of your interests and to show you relevant content or advertisements on our platform and on other websites.
These cookies work by uniquely identifying your browser and device. If you do not allow marketing cookies, you will still see general content, but it will not be tailored to your interests. We do not sell personal data collected through these cookies to third parties.
You may opt out of interest-based advertising delivered by participating third-party networks through the opt-out mechanisms they provide independently of our platform.
7. Third-Party Cookies
Certain features and services embedded in our platform are provided by third parties. These providers may set their own cookies when you interact with their embedded content or tools. We do not have direct control over the cookies set by third parties, and their use is governed by the respective privacy and cookie policies of those providers.
Categories of third-party services that may set cookies include:
— Video and media players embedded within learning modules
— Payment processors used during enrolment or subscription management
— Customer support and live chat tools
— Social sharing and authentication integrations
— Web analytics and performance monitoring services
We encourage you to review the cookie policies of any third-party services you interact with through our platform.
8. Cookie Retention Periods
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a session or persistent cookie and on its specific purpose. The table below provides indicative retention periods for the main categories of cookies we use.
| Category | Typical Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Session duration or up to 24 hours |
| Functional | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics and Performance | Up to 24 months |
| Marketing and Targeting | Up to 24 months |
Actual retention periods may vary depending on the specific cookie and the provider. You can view and delete individual cookies at any time through your browser settings.
9. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for controlling how cookies are used when you interact with our platform.
9.1 Our Cookie Preference Centre
When you first visit our platform, you will be presented with a cookie consent notice that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies by category. You may change your preferences at any time by accessing the cookie settings link available in the footer of our platform.
9.2 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically configure your browser to block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or notify you before a cookie is stored. Please note that restricting cookies may affect the functionality of our platform and other websites you visit.
Guidance on managing cookies in commonly used browsers can be found in the help documentation of your browser provider.
9.3 Device-Level Controls
Mobile devices provide operating-system-level controls that limit how apps and browsers can track your activity and set identifiers. You can review and adjust these settings in your device's privacy or security menu.
9.4 Opt-Out Tools
For cookies placed by third-party analytics or advertising networks, you may be able to opt out using industry-provided tools. These tools operate independently of our platform and are maintained by the relevant industry bodies.
10. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you prefer not to be tracked across sessions and websites. Because there is currently no universally agreed standard for interpreting DNT signals, our platform does not respond to DNT browser signals in a uniform way. We rely instead on the consent and preference mechanisms described in this policy.
11. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or changes to our platform's features and services. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through a prominent notice on the platform or by other means.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Your continued use of the platform after any changes to this policy constitutes your acknowledgement of those changes.
