Last Updated: July 30, 2025

Our Commitment to Transparency

Welcome to AI for Everyone Academy. As an organization dedicated to enhancing public AI literacy, we believe in being clear and transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and what your choices are. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge to control your online experience while visiting our site.

What Are Cookies?

Think of a cookie as a small, simple text file that a website asks your browser to store on your computer or mobile device. It's like a short-term memory for the website, allowing it to remember things about your visit.

What they are: Simple text files containing anonymous information.
What they are not: Cookies are not programs. They cannot run code, install malware, or access your personal files on your hard drive.

There are two main types of cookies:

Session Cookies: These are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your web browser.
Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period and are activated each time you revisit the website that created them.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to operate our site and improve your experience. Because we are a non-profit educational resource, we do not use cookies for targeted advertising or to sell your data to third parties. Our use of cookies is limited to the following categories:

a) Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Without these cookies, our website cannot function properly. Because they are essential, these cookies are always active.

b) Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors use our website. For example, they help us understand:

Which educational articles are most popular.
How much time visitors spend on different pages.
How visitors navigate through our site.

This data is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it cannot be used to identify you personally. We use this information purely to improve the quality of our free content and enhance the website's functionality. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.

c) Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you’ve made in the past (like dismissing a notification banner). This helps provide a more convenient and personalized experience.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our site are placed by third-party services we use to enhance our content.

Google Analytics: As mentioned above, we use Google Analytics to understand website traffic. Google Analytics sets its own cookies to gather this data. You can learn more about Google's practices by visiting their privacy policy and can opt-out of Google Analytics by using their browser add-on.

Video Players (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo): If we embed videos in our articles, these services may set their own cookies on your device when you click to play the video. These cookies are often used to track viewing statistics or save your preferences.
Social Media Sharing: If we provide buttons to share our content on social media (e.g., X, LinkedIn, Facebook), these services may set a cookie to recognize you. We do not have control over these cookies.
