Effective Date: January 1, 2026

This Cookie Policy (this “Policy”) describes how Graphical Playground (“GP” or “Graphical Playground”) uses cookies and similar technologies on its websites and the GP Platform (together, the “Services”). This Policy forms part of, and should be read together with, the Privacy Policy. Capitalized terms not defined in this Policy have the meaning given to them in the Terms of Service.

1. What Cookies Are

1.1. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a site to recognize your device, remember your preferences and past actions, and collect information about how the site is used. This Policy also covers similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels, and SDKs, that GP or its service providers use for comparable purposes.

2. Categories of Cookies GP Uses

2.1. Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are required for the Services to function, such as maintaining your login session, remembering items in a checkout flow, balancing traffic across servers, and protecting against cross-site request forgery. GP’s authentication provider (Clerk) and content delivery provider (Cloudflare) set cookies of this kind. Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under Article 82 of the Loi Informatique et Libertés, because the Services cannot be delivered without them.

2.2. Preference Cookies. These cookies remember choices you make, such as your display language, theme, and layout preferences, so you do not have to set them again on each visit.

2.3. Analytics and Performance Cookies. These cookies help GP understand how the Services are used, such as which pages and courses are visited and whether pages load correctly, so GP can improve the Services. Analytics cookies collect this information in a form that GP treats as Usage Data under the Privacy Policy.

2.4. Marketing Cookies. GP does not currently use third-party advertising cookies. If GP introduces marketing cookies in the future, this Policy and GP’s consent banner will be updated before any such cookie is set, and your consent will be requested where required.

2.5. Cookie List. A current, itemized list of the specific cookies set on the Services, including their name, provider, purpose, and duration, is available through the cookie preferences manager on GP’s websites.

3. Consent and Your Choices

3.1. Consent Banner. When you first visit GP’s websites, you will be shown a cookie banner that lets you accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies by category. Refusing non-essential cookies is as easy as accepting them, and GP does not degrade access to the Services for visitors who decline analytics or preference cookies.

3.2. Consent Validity and Withdrawal. Where GP relies on your consent to set a cookie, that consent remains valid for up to six (6) months, consistent with guidance from the Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL), after which GP will ask again. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time through the cookie preferences manager, accessible from the footer of GP’s websites, or by clearing cookies in your browser.

3.3. Browser Controls. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Because blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of the Services, such as signing in, from working, GP recommends using the cookie preferences manager described in Section 3.1 rather than blocking all cookies at the browser level.

3.4. Do Not Track. Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no common industry standard for interpreting this signal, the Services do not currently respond to it. GP’s cookie preferences manager remains the way to control non-essential cookies on the Services.

4. Third-Party Cookies

4.1. Some cookies on the Services are set by GP’s Infrastructure Providers, described in Section 1.3 of the Terms of Service, acting on GP’s behalf to deliver, secure, or measure the performance of the Services. A current list of these providers is maintained at graphical-playground.com/legal/subprocessors. These providers do not use cookies collected through the Services to serve their own advertising.

5. Changes to This Policy

5.1. GP may update this Policy from time to time. GP will post the most current version at graphical-playground.com/legal/cookies and, if a change affects the categories of cookies used or the consent required for them, GP will prompt you to review your cookie preferences again.
