Cookies & tracking
We use cookies for: saving comment info (optional), login sessions, cart tracking, analytics, and site functionality.
Examples:
- If you leave a comment, optional cookies may remember your name/email (lasting up to one year).
- A temporary cookie is set to test if your browser accepts cookies (no personal data, deleted at session end).
- Logged-in cookies last two days (or longer if “Remember Me” is set).
- We also track recently viewed items and maintain cart contents while browsing.
We use third-party analytics/advertising cookies. Non-essential cookies are activated only if you consent via our cookie banner or settings.
Embedded content from other sites
Embedded content (videos, images, etc.) from external sources acts as if you visited those websites directly. They may collect data, use cookies, or monitor interactions if you’re logged in on those sites.
Analytics & advertising
We and third parties may use cookies to serve ads based on your site visits. Google and other networks may use advertising cookies. You can opt out via device settings or Google Ads Settings.
Who we share your data with
We share data with services that support our operations, such as Mailerlite, Woocommerce, Forminator Forms, Hustle, Stripe, PayPal, and Sassy Social Share.
Additionally, when processing password resets, your IP address may be included. For quizzes, certain data may be publicly displayed to generate results.
Newsletter, emails & marketing
If you subscribe, register, or purchase, you may receive emails from us. We only send marketing messages when allowed by law or with your consent.
For users in the EU, UK, and regions requiring opt-in: we send marketing only after explicit consent. For users in jurisdictions without such requirements (e.g. U.S.) or where location is unclear (e.g. VPNs), we use a “reasonable and defensible” approach to send relevant messages. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe option and you can withdraw consent at any time.
Data retention
Unless otherwise required by law, we retain user data indefinitely after last activity or until you request its deletion. We periodically review stored data and remove or anonymize what is no longer necessary.
Your rights over your data
You have the right to:
- Request a copy of your personal data
- Request deletion of your data (subject to legal obligations)
- Withdraw marketing consent or object to processing
- Request corrections or updates to your data
To exercise these, contact learn@jgmusiclessons.com.
