See which cookies Academy uses. Choose preferences and visitor statistics in Manage consent.

Summary

  • Necessary cookies support sign-in and security. You choose preferences and statistics for signed-out visits.
  • Visitor statistics appear in Lexico's internal traffic overview using pseudonymous browser and account keys.
  • The central traffic event contains no raw IP address, email, full user-agent string or URL query parameters.
  • Signed-in activity is recorded as part of the service. Operational and error events are also recorded without optional visitor statistics.

1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file stored in your browser when you visit a website. It is used to remember choices, keep you signed in, or measure usage. Cookies cannot run programs or read data from your hard drive.

2. Cookies we use

The table shows cookie names, purposes, durations and categories. Statistics for signed-out visits require the new explicit statistics choice. When signed in, activity is recorded as part of the service.

Name Purpose Duration Type
.AspNetCore.Identity.Application Keeps you signed in across page views. Contains an encrypted session token, no plaintext personal data. Session (deleted when browser closes) Strictly necessary
.AspNetCore.Antiforgery.* Protects against CSRF (forgery) attacks by validating that form submissions come from our own site. Session (deleted when browser closes) Strictly necessary
.Lexico Academy.Culture Remembers your selected language (nb-NO or en-US) so you don't have to choose again on every visit. 1 year Preference
.Lexico Academy.Theme Remembers your selected theme (light or dark) so your preference persists across visits. 1 year Preference
.AspNetCore.Mvc.CookieTempDataProvider Used to show single-use messages (toasts like "Changes saved") after a form submission. Deleted immediately after display. Session (deleted when browser closes) Strictly necessary
.Lexico.Academy.AnalyticsId Protected browser key for page views. Set after an explicit statistics choice or for signed-in use. Rotates when the signed-in identity changes. Several browser keys can belong to one person. 1 year Statistics / signed-in activity
.Lexico.Academy.CookieConsent Remembers your preference and visitor-statistics choices, including refusals. 1 year Strictly necessary
.Lexico.Academy.Currency Remembers the selected display currency. 1 year Preference

3. Central traffic overview

Academy sends operational events and eligible page views to Lexico's internal traffic overview. Browser, account and company keys are pseudonymised before transmission. Raw IP addresses, email, full user-agent strings, referrer query parameters and URL query parameters are not sent. Statistics cookies are not shared between domains.

Exception during payment

During the payment flow you are temporarily redirected to Stripe (EU instance), which sets its own cookies for secure card handling. These are Stripe's responsibility — see stripe.com/cookie-settings.

4. localStorage and sessionStorage

In addition to cookies we use two browser-based storages (both deleted when you clear browser data):

  • localStorage

    Used to remember expanded/collapsed state of the admin sidebar so it doesn't reset every time you navigate.

  • sessionStorage

    Used to preserve scroll position when changing language or during certain form submissions, so you aren't thrown back to the top.

5. How to manage cookies

Use Manage consent to change your choices without blocking sign-in. Turning statistics off stops optional collection from the next request and removes the statistics cookie when signed out. This choice does not delete events already recorded. The browser settings below can also delete or block cookies.

  • 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 → Manage and delete cookies

6. Changes to this notice

This page is updated when cookie use changes. The previous Accept all choice covered preferences only and does not consent to visitor statistics. The new banner lets you choose statistics explicitly.
