Cookies and storage
1. What this policy covers
"Cookies" are small files that a website saves in your browser. Similar technologies do the same job, such as your browser's local storage ("localStorage"), and the law treats them the same way. In this policy, "cookies" includes all of them (art. 22.2 LSSI-CE; art. 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive).
The law says a site may save or read information on your device without asking you first only when that is strictly necessary to provide a service you have asked for. Everything else needs your consent first.
2. The short version
Learnington uses one cookie to give you access (lt_beta during the beta; lt_s once you have an account) and your browser's local storage to remember things you choose, such as your level, your town and your progress. Everything in local storage stays on your device. Because all of it is needed for the features you are using, the law does not require us to ask for consent. Even so, we explain it here. There is no analytics, no advertising and no tracking of any kind.
We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies or social media cookies, and we never use cookies to profile children.

4. Third-party services
Fonts. All fonts are served from mylearnington.com. Nothing is loaded from Google or any other font service.
Hosting. Our pages are delivered by Cloudflare. For ordinary visitors Cloudflare sets no cookies on mylearnington.com; Turnstile (the bot check on the registration and sign-in pages) stores only what it needs for that check and does not track you across sites.
Your browser's own features. The speech recognition and read-aloud features are part of your browser, not our site. Your browser may send audio or text to its maker to process it (see the Privacy Policy).
5. What we may add in future
We will update this table and turn on the cookie banner before anything that needs consent goes live.
| Purpose | Example | Consent needed? |
|---|---|---|
| Keeping you signed in (from 1 Jan 2027) | The session cookie lt_s (first party, HttpOnly, Secure), described in section 3 |
No (strictly necessary) |
| Security | Limits on sign-in attempts and bot checks, stored on our server, not on your device | No (strictly necessary) |

No (strictly necessary) |
| Payment and fraud prevention (from 1 Jan 2027) | Cookies set by Paddle on its checkout only | No (needed for the payment you asked for) |
| Statistics (not used; if ever added) | A cookieless, EU-hosted tool with no cross-site tracking | Yes, unless an exemption applies; never in Kids mode |

| Embedded videos or other third-party content | Only in privacy-enhanced mode, and loaded only after you click ("click to load") | Yes if the provider sets cookies |
6. How to control and delete cookies and local storage
- On Learnington: Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it.
- In your browser: you can delete this site's data, or block it, in your browser settings, usually under Privacy → Cookies and site data (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) or Settings → Safari → Advanced → Website Data (Safari, iPhone and iPad). If you delete it, your saved progress and settings on that device will be lost; from 1 January 2027, anything saved to your account is kept.
7. Children
In Kids mode, Learnington never uses non-essential cookies or similar technologies, even if someone has clicked "Accept". For users under 14, any consent to non-essential cookies must come from a parent or guardian (art. 7 LOPDGDD). Our approach is simply not to offer them to children.
8. Changes and contact
We will update this policy whenever what we store changes. Questions: hello@mylearnington.com. Data controller details are in the Privacy Policy.
Resumen en español
- Beta: una sola cookie técnica,
lt_beta(hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2026, cuando acaba la beta), que recuerda tu registro para darte acceso; y el almacenamiento local del navegador para ajustes y progreso, que no sale del dispositivo. Ambos son necesarios para el servicio que has pedido y están exentos de consentimiento (art. 22.2 LSSI-CE). La página de registro usa Cloudflare Turnstile contra bots (sin cookies de seguimiento). - Desde el 9 de enero de 2027: una cookie de sesión
lt_s(inicio de sesión), y las cookies propias del pago de Paddle solo durante la compra. - Fuentes: alojadas en nuestro propio servidor; no se carga nada de Google.
- Si solo hay elementos exentos, no hace falta banner, aunque sí esta política. El banner (sección 7) solo se activará si se añaden analítica, publicidad u otros elementos no exentos. Por defecto solo se activará lo esencial, y los botones «Aceptar», «Rechazar» y «Configurar» tendrán el mismo nivel, como pide la guía de la AEPD (2023).
- Guardaremos tu elección como máximo 24 meses, y podrás cambiarla en cualquier momento desde «Configuración de cookies».
- En el modo Niños no se usará nada que no sea esencial.
