Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 2, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Zeduwue ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or interact with our website at zeduwue.com. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.
By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. Where your consent is required, you may withdraw it at any time by adjusting your browser settings or using the controls described in this document.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — computer, tablet, or mobile phone — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners.
Cookies are not programs and cannot execute code or deliver viruses. They are simply data files stored locally on your device by your web browser.
1.1 First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
Cookies set directly by the website you are visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by any domain other than the one you are currently visiting are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies are typically placed by services we use, such as analytics providers or embedded content platforms.
1.2 Session and Persistent Cookies
Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually. The duration of each cookie we use is described in the table in Section 3.
2. Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other tracking technologies that function in a similar way. These include:
- Web beacons: Small transparent image files embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page or message has been viewed.
- Pixel tags: Tiny pieces of code embedded in pages or emails that communicate information back to a server when a page is loaded.
- Local storage: A browser-based mechanism that stores data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity and no automatic expiry.
- Session storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser tab is closed.
For simplicity, all of these technologies are referred to collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.

4. Categories of Cookies by Purpose
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function correctly. They enable core features such as user authentication, security protections, and the storage of your consent choices. Without these cookies, services you have requested — such as accessing your account or completing a purchase — cannot be provided.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent and cannot be disabled through our cookie controls. You may block them using your browser settings, but this will prevent many parts of the website from working as intended.
4.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalised features. For example, they may remember your preferred display settings, accessibility options, or regional formatting preferences.
These cookies do not track your activity on other websites. The information they collect may be anonymised or they may be associated with your account where applicable.
4.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. This includes information about which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on each page, and any errors they encounter. This data helps us improve the structure, content, and performance of the website.
Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. We use third-party analytics services to process this information on our behalf. These providers are contractually obligated to use the data only for the purposes we specify.
4.4 Marketing and Targeting Cookies
At this time, we do not use marketing or targeting cookies on our website. If this changes in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly and your consent will be sought before any such cookies are placed.
5. How We Obtain Your Consent
Where applicable law requires your consent before placing non-essential cookies, we display a cookie consent notice when you first visit our website. This notice gives you the option to accept or decline different categories of cookies.
Your consent applies only to the device and browser you are using at the time. If you use multiple devices or browsers, you may need to set your preferences separately on each one.
We do not treat continued browsing, scrolling, or any passive interaction as consent. Consent is only recorded when you make an active, affirmative selection in our consent interface.
6. Managing and Controlling Cookies
6.1 Our Consent Controls
You can update or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time by accessing the cookie settings panel available on our website. Changes you make will take effect as soon as they are saved. Please note that withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that occurred before your withdrawal.
6.2 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically configure your browser to:
- Notify you when a cookie is being set
- Block all cookies by default
- Block only third-party cookies
- Delete cookies when you close your browser
- Review and delete cookies that are already stored on your device
Instructions for managing cookies in commonly used browsers are available at the following locations:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
Please be aware that blocking or deleting cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of our website, including logging in and accessing course content.
6.3 Opting Out of Third-Party Analytics
If you wish to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your use of our website, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This add-on prevents the Google Analytics tracking code from sharing information with Google Analytics about your activity.
7. Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies we use may collect or be associated with personal data, such as your account identifier or usage patterns linked to your profile. Where cookies are used in connection with personal data, that processing is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is available on our website.
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect any personal data collected through cookies from unauthorised access, disclosure, or misuse.
8. Third-Party Cookies and External Services
Certain features of our website rely on third-party services that may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control these cookies and are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party providers. We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services you interact with through our website.
Third-party services currently integrated into our platform may include analytics providers, video hosting services for masterclass content, and payment processors. Each of these providers operates under their own data practices and terms of service.
9. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our website does not currently alter its behaviour in response to DNT signals, but we will review this position as standards develop.
10. Retention of Cookie Data
Cookie data is retained for the duration specified in Section 3 of this policy, or for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which the cookie was placed. Analytics data collected through third-party services is subject to the retention policies of those providers.
You can delete cookies stored on your device at any time using your browser settings. Deleting a cookie before its natural expiry does not affect data that has already been collected and transmitted.
11. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or changes in our business practices. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through a notice on our website or via email.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Your continued use of our website after any changes constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated policy.
