Overview
Socrates Investments Academy LLC (collectively, “Socrates Investments,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website to operate and secure the site, remember certain settings, understand site usage, and support features such as forms.
This Cookie Policy should be read with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information more broadly.
What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They may be set by the website you visit (“first-party cookies”) or by another service used by that website (“third-party cookies”).
We may also use related technologies, such as local storage, pixels, tags, scripts, and device or browser identifiers. In this policy, “cookies” refers collectively to these technologies unless a distinction is necessary.
Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until you delete them.
Categories we use
Required for core website operation, security, authentication, administrative access, fraud prevention, form integrity, and basic preferences. Blocking these cookies may cause parts of the site to stop working correctly.
Help us understand visits, traffic sources, pages viewed, approximate location, device or browser type, and site performance so we can improve the website.
Support optional features and remember choices that make the website easier to use. These may be set only when you interact with a relevant feature.
We do not currently use cookies to deliver third-party behavioral advertising or remarketing. If this changes, we will update this policy and provide any consent choices required by applicable law.
Services and providers
The cookies actually placed on a device can vary based on browser settings, consent choices, login status, site configuration, and which features are used.
| Provider or feature | Typical purpose | Category |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress / WordPress.com | Site operation, testing cookie support, security, administrative login, display settings, and—if enabled—comment preferences. | Essential / Functional |
| Jetpack | Website statistics, performance, security, and other enabled Jetpack features. The information and cookies used depend on which Jetpack modules are active. | Essential / Analytics |
| Google Analytics | Measures interactions with the website using identifiers such as the _ga cookie, subject to our configuration and your consent choices where applicable. | Analytics |
| Fluent Forms | Supports contact-form operation, form security, spam prevention, validation, and submission handling. Some protections may use tokens or similar browser storage. | Essential |
| Consent preferences | If a cookie-preference tool is enabled, it may remember your choices so the site does not ask on every visit. | Essential |
Our site also links to Discord, LaunchPass, social networks, and other third-party services. Merely following those links takes you to a separately operated service that may set its own cookies under its own policies.
How long cookies remain
Cookie retention varies. Some cookies last only for the current browser session. Others may remain for days, months, or longer to remember a setting or distinguish visits over time. Providers may change cookie names and retention periods as their services evolve.
You can inspect the cookies currently stored for this site using your browser’s developer or privacy tools. You may also delete stored cookies at any time through your browser settings.
Your choices
Where a cookie-preference control is displayed, you may use it to accept, reject, or adjust nonessential cookies. Essential cookies cannot always be disabled through that control because they are needed to provide or secure the website.
- Browser controls: Most browsers allow you to block, restrict, or delete cookies. Consult your browser’s privacy or security settings for instructions.
- Google Analytics: Google offers a browser add-on that can prevent Google Analytics measurement across participating websites.
- Device controls: Mobile operating systems and privacy-focused browsers may provide additional tracking protections.
- Contact us: You may ask questions about our cookie practices through the Contact page.
Blocking cookies may affect forms, login functions, saved preferences, or other parts of the website.
Browser privacy signals
Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control signals. Because technical standards and legal requirements continue to develop, responses may vary by feature and jurisdiction. Where applicable law requires us to honor a recognized signal, we will treat it accordingly.
We do not sell personal information or use cookie-derived information for third-party behavioral advertising. You may still use the controls described above to limit analytics and browser storage.
Third-party websites and services
Third parties control their own technologies and privacy practices. We do not control the cookies placed after you leave our website or interact directly with a separately operated service. Review the privacy and cookie disclosures of Google, Automattic/WordPress.com, Jetpack, Discord, LaunchPass, Stripe, and other services you choose to use.
Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, providers, legal obligations, or practices change. The effective date at the top shows when this version took effect.
For material changes, we will provide reasonable notice through the website, a prominent notice, Discord, email when available and appropriate, or another suitable method. Minor clarifications may be posted by updating this page and its change summary.
