Cookies Policy
What cookies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.
This Cookies Policy explains how Pain Academy, LLC (“Pain Academy”, “we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit painacademy.net or any of our related products. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit. Cookies let the site recognize your browser between page loads or visits, remember preferences, and understand how the site is being used.
Why we use cookies
- Essential cookies, required for the site to function. These power things like sign-in sessions, remembering your quiz answers between steps, and keeping your enrollment progress.
- Preference cookies, remember choices you make so you don’t have to re-set them every visit (for example, your starting program from the placement test).
- Analytics cookies, let us understand how visitors arrive at the Academy and which pages they read, in aggregate, so we can keep improving the experience.
- Marketing cookies, used by trusted partners to measure the performance of our ads. We do not use cookies to track your browsing behavior across unrelated sites.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services that appear on our pages, for example, video players, payment processors, or analytics providers. We choose Service Partners who adopt and promote strong privacy policies, but their use of cookies is governed by their own privacy practices, not ours.
How long cookies stay on your device
- Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a fixed period or until you delete them. We use these for things like keeping you signed in or remembering your preferences.
Controlling cookies
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. If your browser emits “Do Not Track” signals, we honor them by refraining from collecting personal information about you.
If you choose to disable cookies, parts of the Academy, like staying signed in, saving placement test results, or progressing through enrollment, may not function as intended.
Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or how we operate the site. The latest version will always be posted on this page.
