This Cookie Policy explains how Automate, Scale, Thrive (DBA of Mode Globale Ltd) (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our websites, learning platforms and community services (collectively, the “Services”). It describes what cookies are, why we use them, the types we use, and how you can control them. This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device and store information about your visit (for example language preferences or login state). Cookies may be:
- Session cookies – deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies – stored on your device for a set period (for example days, months or years).
2. Why we use cookies
We use cookies to provide, secure and improve the Services, and to make your experience personalised and efficient. Typical purposes include:
- Essential cookies – required for core site functions such as account login, session management, security, and payment processing. These cannot usually be disabled without affecting functionality.
- Performance & analytics cookies – measure site usage and performance so we can improve content and the user experience (for example page visit counts, load times, and error reporting).
- Functional cookies – remember settings and preferences (for example language, display preferences, or form inputs).
- Marketing & advertising cookies – where you consent, these help us and our partners deliver relevant marketing and measure campaign performance.
3. Types of cookies we use
We use a combination of:
- First-party cookies – set by Automate, Scale, Thrive to operate the Services and remember your preferences.
- Third-party cookies – set by external providers that support features on our Services (for example payment processors, analytics, video hosts or advertising partners). These providers have their own privacy and cookie practices.
4. Examples of third-party services and cookies
Examples of third parties whose cookies may be used on our Services include:
- Payment & fraud prevention: Stripe and payment processors (and, where applicable, Klarna) use cookies/tech to complete secure payments and detect fraud.
- Analytics: Google Analytics for aggregated traffic and usage statistics. You can opt out of Google Analytics using Google’s opt-out tool: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
- Media embeds: Vimeo, YouTube or other hosting platforms may set cookies when videos are embedded in course pages.
- Email & marketing: Email delivery and CRM platforms may use cookies or pixel tracking for campaign measurement where you have given consent.
5. Cookie durations
Cookie lifetimes vary by purpose and provider. Some cookies expire at the end of your session; persistent cookies can last from days up to 24 months depending on the service. Specific durations are set by the cookie issuer and may be shown in your browser’s cookie inspector or in our cookie banner details.
6. Managing your cookie preferences
On first visit we display a cookie banner allowing you to accept, reject or customise non-essential cookies. You can change or withdraw consent at any time by:
- Using the cookie settings link on the site (if provided).
- Clearing cookies or changing preferences in your browser (see browser Help/Settings for instructions).
- Using opt-out links provided by third parties (for example Google’s opt-out tool above).
Please note that disabling or removing cookies may affect site functionality and your access to some features (for example staying signed in or accessing course content).
7. Cookies used for payments and security
Payment partners such as Stripe (and Klarna where applicable) may use cookies and similar technologies to manage transactions, perform fraud checks and comply with legal obligations. These cookies are typically essential to complete a payment and cannot usually be disabled without preventing the payment process.
8. Analytics and aggregated reporting
We use analytics to understand how the Services are used and to improve them. Analytics data is typically aggregated and does not identify individual users. We may combine analytics data with account information for internal analysis, always in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.
9. Third-party disclosures
Some cookies are set by third parties and subject to their policies. We do not control third-party cookies and encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of those providers.
10. How to delete cookies
To delete cookies, use your browser settings to remove stored cookies and site data. Instructions are available in the Help menu of all major browsers. You can also block cookies entirely via browser settings, though that may prevent some site features working correctly.
11. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements or our Services. We will publish the revised policy with a new effective date. Continued use of the Services following publication indicates you accept the updated policy.
12. Relation to Privacy Policy
This Cookie Policy is part of and works alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more fully how we collect, use and protect personal data. Where cookies involve processing of personal data, the Privacy Policy explains the legal basis and your rights.
