Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 12, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Elyvorax School (operated by Elyvorax Education GmbH) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It supplements our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Some cookies are necessary for the site to function. Others help us understand how the site is used (analytics) or support advertising measurement and personalization (marketing). We also use technologies that are similar in function, such as pixel tags and server-side event reporting, which may set or read identifiers depending on your consent choices.

1) Cookie types explained

Cookies can be categorized in several ways. These distinctions help you understand why certain cookies exist and how long they stay on your device.

  • By lifespan: Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them.
  • By origin: First-party cookies are set by this website. Third-party cookies are set by external providers whose tools are used on the site.
  • By purpose: Essential cookies keep core site features working; analytics cookies measure usage; marketing cookies support ad measurement and personalization.

Elyvorax School uses a consent system that groups non-essential cookies into Analytics and Marketing categories. Essential cookies are always active because they are required for the site to function reliably and securely.

2) Cookie categories we use

Essential cookies (always active)

Essential cookies support core functionality such as session continuity, security protections, and remembering your cookie consent choice. Without these, the site may not work as intended. These cookies do not require consent under most privacy frameworks, because they are strictly necessary for the service you request when you browse the site.

Analytics cookies (consent required)

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site: which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and which navigation paths are common. We use this information to improve content structure, page performance, and the clarity of program information. Where used, Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is configured to reduce data collection where possible, including IP anonymization settings typically applied in the EEA/UK context.

If you do not consent to Analytics cookies, the site will still function, but we will have less visibility into aggregate usage patterns.

Marketing cookies (consent required)

Marketing cookies support advertising measurement and personalization. For example, they may help measure whether an ad campaign resulted in a form submission, and they can support remarketing audiences (showing relevant program information to people who previously visited the site). Marketing cookies may be used by providers such as Google and Meta once you consent.

Elyvorax School does not permit these providers to use site data for their own independent commercial purposes. When marketing cookies are enabled, identifiers such as cookie IDs may be shared with these providers to support campaign attribution and measurement.

3) Cookie table

The table below lists cookies that may be used in connection with the categories described above. Some cookies appear only if the relevant tool is enabled and you have consented to the category.

Name Purpose Category Type Retention
_site_session Site session continuity Essential First-party Session
cookie_consent Stores your consent choice Essential First-party 12 months
_ga GA4 user identifier Analytics Third-party 2 years
_ga_XXXXXXXXXX GA4 session state (10-char GA4 ID) Analytics Third-party 2 years
_gcl_au Google Ads conversion linker Marketing Third-party 90 days
_fbp Meta Pixel browser identifier Marketing Third-party 90 days
_fbc Meta Pixel click identifier Marketing Third-party 90 days

Please note: cookie names and retention periods may vary slightly based on provider configuration and legal requirements. Where a third-party tool is not enabled, its cookies will not be set.

4) Third-party providers

Depending on your consent choices and the tools enabled for measurement, we may use services from the providers listed below. These providers may set or read cookies or similar identifiers to deliver their services.

  • Google LLC (Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager where used).
  • Meta Platforms (Meta Pixel and conversion measurement where used).
  • Cloudflare (content delivery network and security services, which may process IP addresses for threat detection and abuse prevention).

We do not permit these providers to use site data for their own independent commercial purposes. Data processing is limited to what is needed to provide analytics, security, or advertising measurement services to Elyvorax School.

5) How to manage cookies

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie controls available on this website:

  • Use the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the footer to open the cookie controls.
  • Use your browser settings to delete cookies or block new cookies. Blocking some cookies may affect site functionality.

If you previously consented to Analytics or Marketing cookies and later withdraw consent, we will stop using those categories on future page loads. Depending on your browser, you may also need to delete existing cookies manually to remove previously stored identifiers.
