This Cookie Policy explains how LearningBot uses cookies and similar technologies on https://learningbot.tech/.

It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and Affiliate Disclosure.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites work properly, remember preferences, understand visitor behavior, improve performance, and support features such as analytics, comments, embedded content, advertising, or affiliate tracking.

Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, local storage, session storage, scripts, and tracking identifiers.

2. How LearningBot Uses Cookies

LearningBot may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Make the website function properly
  • Remember user preferences
  • Improve website performance
  • Understand which articles are useful or popular
  • Protect the website from spam, fraud, or abuse
  • Support comments or login-related features, if enabled
  • Support newsletter forms
  • Display embedded content
  • Measure newsletter, ad, or affiliate performance
  • Support advertising or affiliate links

PIPEDA requires knowledge and consent for the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information, except in limited situations. Québec’s private-sector privacy law also requires organizations that collect personal information through technological means to publish a confidentiality policy on their website.

3. Types of Cookies We May Use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the website to work. They may be used for security, page loading, spam prevention, cookie consent settings, or basic WordPress functionality.

You cannot usually disable these cookies without affecting how the website works.

Preference cookies

These cookies remember choices such as language, display preferences, cookie settings, or other customizations.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use LearningBot. They may show which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, what devices or browsers are used, and which websites referred visitors.

We may use analytics tools such as:

  • Google Analytics
  • Plausible Analytics
  • Matomo
  • Cloudflare Web Analytics
  • WordPress analytics plugins

Where possible, we prefer privacy-friendly and aggregated analytics.

Advertising cookies

If LearningBot displays ads, advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads, measure performance, prevent fraud, and understand interactions with ads.

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada has guidance on online behavioural advertising and notes that PIPEDA applies when personal information is collected, used, or disclosed for this type of activity.

Affiliate cookies

Affiliate partners may use cookies to track whether a visitor clicked an affiliate link and later made a purchase. These cookies help attribute commissions to LearningBot.

Embedded content cookies

Articles may contain embedded content from third-party services. These services may set their own cookies or collect information when you interact with the embedded content.

Examples may include:

  • YouTube
  • GitHub
  • CodePen
  • StackBlitz
  • X/Twitter
  • LinkedIn
  • Google Fonts
  • CDN providers

Embedded content from third-party websites behaves as if you visited those websites directly.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be placed by third-party services that LearningBot uses. These third parties may process information according to their own privacy policies and cookie policies.

Third-party services may include:

  • Hosting providers
  • Analytics providers
  • Newsletter providers
  • Advertising networks
  • Affiliate networks
  • Spam protection tools
  • Security plugins
  • Embedded media providers
  • Social media platforms
  • Payment or donation services

LearningBot does not control all cookies placed by third parties.

5. Cookie Consent

Depending on your location and the type of cookies used, we may ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies.

Non-essential cookies may include analytics, advertising, affiliate tracking, personalization, or social media cookies.

You can accept, reject, or manage non-essential cookies through the cookie banner or cookie settings tool, if available.

For Québec users, tracking technologies used to identify, locate, or profile a person require special transparency and consent considerations under Québec privacy law. Québec’s law also requires privacy-related information to be published in clear and simple language.

6. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • Delete cookies
  • Block cookies
  • Block third-party cookies
  • Clear browsing data
  • Send “Do Not Track” signals
  • Manage site-specific permissions

Disabling cookies may affect some parts of the website.
