Introduction

OctaveLearning ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and applications (collectively, the "Service"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, your choices regarding cookies, and further information about cookies.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies.

Session cookies remain on your device until you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or are deleted. Different cookies have different functions.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several purposes, including:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Service to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account authentication. You cannot opt out of essential cookies as the Service would not function properly without them.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enhance the functionality of our Service by storing your preferences. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you disable these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Service, such as which pages visitors go to most often and if they receive error messages. The information collected is aggregated and anonymous. We use this information to improve our Service.

Authentication Cookies

When you log in to your account, these cookies help us remember who you are and keep you logged in during your visit or across visits. They also help us protect your account from unauthorized access.

Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the Service and deliver advertisements that may be relevant to you. These third parties may include:

• Authentication providers (such as Google through OAuth 2.0)
• Analytics providers (such as Google Analytics)
• Marketing and advertising partners

When you use our Service with Google authentication, Google may set cookies for authentication and security purposes. These cookies are governed by Google's own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.

OAuth 2.0 and Cookies

OctaveLearning uses OAuth 2.0, specifically Google OAuth, to authenticate users. During the OAuth authentication process, cookies may be set to:

• Maintain your authentication state
• Store session information
• Enhance the security of the authentication process
• Prevent fraudulent authentication attempts

These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the OAuth authentication process and are subject to Google's own cookie policies.

Your Choices Regarding Cookies

You have several options to manage cookies:

• Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. These settings are typically found in the "options" or "preferences" menu of your browser.
• Delete Cookies: You can delete cookies that are already on your device. You can usually do this through your browser settings.
• Block Cookies: You can set most browsers to prevent cookies from being placed on your device, but this may cause our Service to not function properly.
• Third-Party Opt-Out: Some third parties provide ways to opt out of their cookies. For example, Google provides an opt-out browser add-on for Google Analytics.

Please note that if you choose to disable cookies, you may not be able to use all features of our Service, particularly those related to authentication.

We may update our Cookie Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Cookie Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Cookie Policy periodically for any changes.
