COOKIE POLICY - COOL KIDS ACADEMY
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your browser or device. They allow us to 'remember' your actions or preferences over time so you don't have to reconfigure them every time you visit us.
2. Types of Cookies we use
We classify our cookies into the following categories:
A. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Essential)
These cookies are indispensable for the basic operation of the site and cannot be deactivated in our systems.
- Purpose: Maintain the active user session, manage authentication, and ensure security against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks.
- Examples: next-auth.session-token, __Secure-next-auth.callback-url, csrf_token.
B. Functionality and Preference Cookies
These cookies allow the site to remember choices you have made to personalize your experience.
- Purpose: Remember the language selected by the user and interface settings.
- Examples: NEXT_LOCALE (to show the platform in Spanish, English, etc.), theme_preference.
C. Technical and Performance Cookies (Internal Analytics)
We use technical identifiers and local storage to monitor the health of our infrastructure.
- Purpose: Measure API performance, track usage limits (rate-limiting), and ensure that servers are not saturated. These metrics are anonymized and not used for advertising tracking.
- Examples: Local storage of ApiMetrics and technical server logs.
D. Third-Party Cookies
Some of our service providers may install cookies on your browser when you interact with their integrated features on our website:
- Google Auth: To manage fast and secure login. Google may use cookies to verify user identity.

3. Control and Management of Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies.
Browser Settings
You can configure your browser to block or alert you about these cookies. Keep in mind that if you block essential cookies (such as the session token), you will not be able to log in to the Parent or Teacher Dashboard.
4. Retention
Session cookies are deleted when the browser is closed. Preference cookies (such as language) may remain for a period of up to 12 months so you don't have to reconfigure your account on each visit.
