Cookie Policy
This page explains the cookies and browser storage technologies used across the site, including session continuity, access control, diagnostics, and security features.
1. What We Mean By Cookies
We use both cookies and browser storage technologies. In this policy, "cookies" includes standard HTTP cookies as well as local storage and session storage where those are used to support continuity, access, analytics, or security.
2. Essential Technologies
Some cookies and storage entries are necessary for the site to work. Depending on the feature in use, these may support:
- Authentication, access control, and member or purchaser entitlement checks.
- Session continuity, secure return links, and access recovery flows.
- CSRF protection, anti-abuse verification, and request integrity controls.
- Short-lived state needed to move between diagnostic steps or return to an unfinished assessment.
3. Local Storage And Session Storage
Several tools on the site store progress and continuity data in your browser. This can include unfinished assessment responses, strategy-room inputs, short-term result handoffs, reminder preferences, captured-email markers, theme preferences, and other state needed to avoid losing work.
Session storage usually lasts until the browser tab is closed. Local storage remains until it is cleared or replaced.
4. Analytics And Measurement
We may use first-party measurement and limited session-level analytics to understand how users move through the site, where assessments fail, and where operational issues appear. These tools are used to improve reliability, completion, and service quality.
We do not use this policy to claim that all measurement is anonymous in every case. Some events may be associated with a session, account, or decision record where that is necessary for continuity, fulfilment, or abuse prevention.
5. Third-Party Technologies
Some protected forms or flows use Google reCAPTCHA or similar abuse-prevention tools. Those services may set or read their own cookies or browser identifiers according to their own policies.
Payment processing is handled through Stripe, which may set its own cookies during checkout. Stripe's cookie and data practices are governed by Stripe's own privacy policy.
6. Your Choices
You can manage cookies and browser storage through your browser settings. You can also clear local storage and session storage directly from your browser.
Blocking essential technologies may prevent log-in, continuity, diagnostics, or access-controlled products from working properly.
