Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 4, 2026
This page lists every category of cookie we use, what it does, and how to change your mind. Nothing beyond essential cookies runs before you consent.
This document is a draft prepared for review. It must be reviewed by a qualified attorney in [GOVERNING JURISDICTION] before launch.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. Similar technologies — local storage and pixels — work the same way, and this policy covers them too.
2. Cookies we use
| Category | Examples | Purpose | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Session / authentication token, cookie-consent choice, security tokens | Keep you signed in, remember your consent choice, protect against fraud and cross-site request forgery. The site cannot work without these. | Not required |
| Preferences | Selected audience filter, last dashboard used, playback volume | Remember small choices so the platform behaves the way you left it. | Not required |
| Analytics | None at present — we do not currently run a separate analytics product such as Google Analytics | If we add page-level analytics in future it will load only after you accept analytics cookies, and this table will be updated first. | Required |
| Marketing | Google Ads tag (gtag.js, AW-18360394863) and its conversion measurement cookies | Measure whether our advertising works. Loaded only after you accept marketing cookies, and never used to build behavioural profiles of children. | Required |
3. Your consent
When you first visit, a banner asks you to accept all cookies, reject everything that is not essential, or manage each category. Analytics and marketing tags are not loaded at all until you accept them. Your choice is stored in a first-party cookie for 12 months.
4. How to change or withdraw your choice
- Clear the pga_cookie_consent cookie for pianogoacademy.com in your browser settings — the banner will appear again on your next visit.
- Use your browser's privacy settings to block or delete cookies for this site at any time.
- Most browsers also offer a 'Do Not Track' or global privacy control signal, which we honour for analytics and marketing cookies.
5. Children
We do not use advertising or behavioural profiling cookies on accounts identified as belonging to a student under 13. See the Children's Privacy Notice.
