Understanding Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, and provide a more efficient, personalized experience. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot be used to access other information stored on your device.
In addition to cookies, Luminaryx Hub may use related technologies including web beacons (also known as pixel tags), local storage, and session storage. These technologies operate in a similar manner to cookies and are used for comparable purposes. All references to "cookies" in this Policy should be understood to include these related technologies unless otherwise specified.
Cookies can be categorized by their origin (first-party, set by Luminaryx Hub directly, or third-party, set by external services we integrate with) and by their duration (session cookies that expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies that remain on your device for a defined period).
Our Reasons for Using Cookies
Luminaryx Hub uses cookies for four primary categories of purpose. Some cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the services you request and cannot be disabled. Others are optional and are only set with your consent.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for you to use our website and platform. They enable core functionality including user authentication, session management, security features, and access to your enrolled courses. Without these cookies, services you have requested cannot be provided. They do not require your consent and cannot be turned off through our cookie preferences.
Functional Cookies
These cookies allow our platform to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. Examples include remembering your preferred theme (dark or light mode), your language preference settings, and your progress through course modules. Disabling these cookies may affect the functionality of certain features on our platform.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website and platform. This helps us identify which content is most useful, where users encounter difficulties, and how to improve overall site performance and course delivery. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymous where possible. We use analytics tools including Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled.
Marketing Cookies
With your consent, we may use cookies to deliver advertising or promotional content that is relevant to your interests. These cookies track your visits to our website and other sites and allow us to build a profile of your interests. We do not sell advertising space. Marketing cookies, if accepted, help us present relevant program information when you visit partner platforms. You can withdraw consent for marketing cookies at any time.

Third-Party Services and Their Cookies
Some cookies on our platform are set by third-party services that we use to deliver our services effectively. These third parties have their own privacy policies and cookie practices, which we encourage you to review:
- Google Analytics: Web analytics service that measures user behavior on our website. Google's data processing and privacy terms apply to data collected through their cookies.
- Video Conferencing Provider: Our live lesson and conversation club sessions are delivered through a video conferencing platform. That platform may set cookies related to session management and quality of service.
- Payment Processor: Our checkout process is handled by a third-party payment gateway. Cookies set during the payment flow are governed by that provider's privacy and cookie policy.
- Content Delivery Network: We use a CDN to serve video content efficiently. The CDN provider may use cookies to optimize delivery based on your geographic location and connection quality.
Luminaryx Hub does not control the cookies set by third-party services and is not responsible for their data practices. We evaluate our third-party providers regularly to ensure they meet acceptable standards for data protection.
How to Control Your Cookie Preferences
Our Cookie Preference Center
When you first visit our website, you are presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept all cookies, reject optional cookies, or customize your preferences by category. You can return to and update your preferences at any time by using the cookie settings link available in our website footer.
Please note that withdrawing consent for non-essential cookies does not affect the lawfulness of any cookie use that occurred before your withdrawal. Withdrawing consent for functional cookies may impair certain features of our platform.
Browser-Level Controls
All major browsers allow you to view, manage, block, and delete cookies through browser settings. The specific steps vary by browser. You can also configure your browser to notify you before accepting cookies from any website. Be aware that blocking all cookies may prevent you from logging in or accessing paid content on our platform.
Opt-Out of Analytics
To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available from Google. This add-on instructs the Google Analytics JavaScript to transmit no information about website activity to Google Analytics.
Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing not be tracked. There is currently no industry standard for how websites should respond to this signal. Luminaryx Hub does not currently respond differently to Do Not Track signals, but we do honor your explicit cookie consent choices as described above.
Changes to Our Cookie Practices
Luminaryx Hub may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, our services, or our cookie practices. When we make material changes to this Policy, we will update this page and, where appropriate, notify you by a notice on our website or by email. We encourage you to check this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
If you continue to use our website and services after we have updated this Cookie Policy, you acknowledge and accept the updated terms.
