Cookie Policy for vSpringboard

Last Updated: April 14, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how vSpringboard ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar local storage technologies on our platform accessible at vspringboard.vercel.app.

By continuing to use vSpringboard, you agree to our use of cookies and local storage as described in this policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (remaining on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

We also use Local Storage, a browser-based mechanism similar to cookies that allows us to store slightly larger amounts of data on your device without an expiry date.

2. How We Use Cookies and Local Storage

vSpringboard uses cookies and local storage exclusively to improve your learning experience. We do not use cookies for advertising or to track you across other websites.

2.1 Local Storage — Course Progress

We store your overall course progress locally in your browser using Local Storage. This allows you to resume where you left off without needing to re-fetch progress data from our servers on every page load.

• Purpose: Seamless learning experience and fast progress tracking
• Data stored: Which courses and modules you have completed or started
• Type: Persistent (stored until you clear your browser data or delete your account)
• Third-party access: None — this data stays in your browser only

2.2 Cookies — Per-Video Progress

We use or plan to use cookies to save your playback position within individual course videos. This ensures that if you leave a video partway through, you can pick up from exactly where you stopped.

• Purpose: Saving per-video watch progress so you never lose your place
• Data stored: Video ID and timestamp (playback position in seconds)
• Type: Persistent session cookie (until cleared by the user or browser)
• Third-party access: None — this data is used solely within vSpringboard

3. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies and local storage, certain third-party services integrated into vSpringboard may set their own cookies on your device:

3.1 Google Analytics 4

• Used to collect aggregated, anonymous data about how users interact with our platform
• These cookies do not identify you personally
• Governed by Google's Privacy Policy

3.2 Clerk (Authentication)

• Clerk may set session cookies to keep you securely signed in via email OTP or Google OAuth
• Governed by Clerk's Privacy Policy

4. Managing Cookies and Local Storage

You have several options to control cookies and local storage:

4.1 Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies and clear local storage data. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox:Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

4.2 Impact of Disabling Cookies

Please be aware that disabling cookies or clearing local storage may affect certain platform features:

• Your per-video watch progress will not be saved between sessions
• Your locally cached course progress may be lost, though progress synced to our servers will remain unaffected
• You may be required to sign in again more frequently if authentication cookies are cleared

5. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
