Cookie Policy
How Darija Academy uses cookies and similar technologies — and how you can manage your preferences.
This Cookie Policy explains how Darija Academy (“we,” “our,” “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on darijaacademy.com (the “Website”), and what choices you have about them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we handle your personal data. This Cookie Policy explains those choices; by continuing to use our Website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy, where required by law.
1What Are Cookies? (Cookie Policy Basics)
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, remember your preferences, support security, and let us understand how visitors use a site.
2Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Make our Website work properly, including our booking system.
- Remember basic preferences, such as language or display settings.
- Understand how visitors use our Website so we can improve it.
- Support security and help prevent misuse.
3Types of Cookies We Use
These cookies are necessary for the Website to function — for example, supporting page navigation, the booking form, and basic security. Essential cookies do not require prior consent because they are strictly necessary for the service you have asked for.
These cookies remember your preferences, such as form details already entered or display settings, to make your visit smoother. Depending on their purpose, some functionality cookies may require consent.
These cookies, where used, help us understand how visitors use the Website — for example, which pages are visited most. Analytics cookies are generally non-essential and require consent in the EU before they are set.
Some tools embedded on our Website — such as our booking system, payment processor, and chat widget — may set their own cookies when you interact with them. These third parties are responsible for their own cookies under their own privacy and cookie policies.
4Cookies From Tools We Use
Depending on which features you use, cookies may be set by:
- Amelia, our lesson booking and scheduling system, to manage your appointment and session.
- Stripe, our payment processor, when you make a payment, to process your transaction securely and prevent fraud.
- Our WhatsApp chat widget, if you use it to message us.
- Security tools such as reCAPTCHA, on pages with forms, to help prevent spam and abuse.
5Consent
Where consent is required by law, non-essential cookies are only placed after you accept them through our cookie banner or equivalent tool, if available. You can choose which categories of cookies to accept, and you can withdraw your consent at any time as easily as you gave it.
6How to Manage Cookies
You can manage or delete cookies through:
- Your browser settings, which let you block or delete cookies for any website.
- Our cookie banner or cookie settings tool, where available.
- Opt-out tools offered directly by some third-party providers.
Please note that blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the Website, such as the booking system, from working properly.
7Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the tools we use, the law, or our practices, and the current Cookie Policy always applies. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
