Cookie Policy
Effective Date: August 14, 2026 Last Updated: August 14, 2026
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Edudigital AI, Inc. ("Edudigital," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the Edudigital Campus platform and the edudigital.app website (collectively, the "Services"). This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website or use an online platform. They are widely used to make websites and applications function properly, to improve performance, and to provide information to the operators of the site or platform. Cookies may be set by the site you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services are integrated into the site ("third-party cookies").
Edudigital uses cookies to ensure the security and proper functioning of the Edudigital Campus platform, to remember your preferences, to understand how our Services are used, and to support marketing efforts on our public website. We are committed to transparency about the technologies we use and the choices available to you.
Because Edudigital Campus processes student education records protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), we take particular care to limit the use of tracking technologies within the platform environment. Marketing and advertising cookies are never deployed within the authenticated platform where student data is accessed.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of the Edudigital Campus platform and cannot be disabled. They enable core functionality such as user authentication, session management, security protections, and load balancing. Without these cookies, the platform cannot function as intended, and you would not be able to access your account or use the Services.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under applicable privacy laws because they are indispensable to providing the service you have requested.
Examples include:
- session_id -- Maintains your authenticated session so you remain logged in as you navigate the platform.
- csrf_token -- Protects against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks by validating that form submissions and API requests originate from the legitimate application.
- system_user -- Identifies the authenticated user context for access control and permission enforcement within the platform.
2.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the platform to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. These cookies improve your experience by retaining settings across sessions so you do not have to reconfigure them each time you log in.
Examples include:
- preferred_language -- Stores your selected interface language (e.g., English, Spanish, Portuguese) so the platform displays content in your preferred language.
- user_timezone -- Records your timezone setting to ensure that dates, times, schedules, and deadlines are displayed accurately in your local time.
- UI customization cookies -- Retain your dashboard layout preferences, sidebar collapse state, table column configurations, and other interface settings.
- Remember-me cookies -- Enable the "remember me" functionality at login, allowing you to remain authenticated for an extended period on trusted devices.
2.3 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how users interact with the Edudigital Campus platform and the edudigital.app website. They collect information about usage patterns, feature adoption rates, page views, and performance metrics. This information is aggregated and used to improve the Services, identify technical issues, and guide product development decisions.
Third-party analytics:
- Google Analytics -- We use Google Analytics on the edudigital.app website and within the platform to collect anonymized usage data. Google Analytics sets cookies including
_ga,_gid, and_gatto distinguish unique users, throttle request rates, and compile statistical reports on site activity.
First-party analytics:
- Platform usage telemetry -- We collect first-party analytics data to measure feature adoption, track system performance, and monitor platform health. This telemetry data is aggregated and does not include the content of student education records.
2.4 Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies are used exclusively on the edudigital.app public website and are never deployed within the authenticated Edudigital Campus platform. These cookies track visitors across websites to enable the display of relevant advertisements and to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.
Marketing cookies are not used in connection with student data, student education records, or any FERPA-protected information. They apply only to visitors browsing the public-facing website, such as prospective institutional clients and general visitors.
Third-party marketing cookies on edudigital.app:
- Google Ads -- Used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and to deliver relevant ads to website visitors on the Google Display Network.
- LinkedIn Insight Tag -- Used to track conversions from LinkedIn advertising campaigns and to enable retargeting of website visitors on the LinkedIn platform.
- Meta Pixel -- Used to measure the effectiveness of advertising on Meta platforms (Facebook, Instagram) and to build audiences for targeted advertising.

- Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your use of the platform but will limit our ability to improve the Services based on usage data.

6. Consent
6.1 How We Obtain Consent
When you first visit the edudigital.app website, a cookie consent banner is displayed that informs you about our use of cookies and provides you with the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You may choose to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences by category.
6.2 Essential Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent because they are essential to provide the service you have requested. These cookies are activated automatically when you access the platform.
6.3 Withdrawing Consent
You may withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time by:
- Adjusting your cookie preferences through the cookie settings link available in the website footer.
- Clearing cookies from your browser and making a new selection when the consent banner reappears.
- Contacting us at privacy@edudigital.ai to request that your cookie preferences be reset.
Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
7. Do Not Track
Some web browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal that communicates your preference not to be tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how companies should respond to DNT signals. Edudigital honors DNT signals on the edudigital.app public website by disabling non-essential analytics and marketing cookies for users who have enabled DNT in their browser settings. Within the authenticated platform, marketing cookies are never used regardless of DNT settings.
