Cookies Policy

Last updated June 6, 2026. Effective June 6, 2026. This policy explains how Slide Practice uses cookies and similar technologies across both our marketing site at slidepractice.com and the Slide Practice product app (the software you use once you have an account). Slide Practice is operated by Vikrant Singh, a sole proprietor based in Manila, Philippines, trading as "Slide Practice" ("Slide Practice", "we", "us", "our"). The marketing site is deliberately built to be light on tracking: it uses no advertising cookies and no cross-site tracking. This policy sits alongside our Privacy Policy, our Terms of Service, and our Refund Policy.

1. What cookies and similar technologies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. When you return, the browser sends the cookie back, which lets the site recognise your session, remember a setting, or keep you signed in. Cookies can be "first party" (set by the site you are visiting) or "third party" (set by another service the site relies on).

Cookies are not the only technology of this kind, so when we say "cookies" in this policy we also mean the following similar technologies:

• Local storage and session storage. These are small stores of data that a site can keep in your browser, much like cookies, and are commonly used to hold preferences or short-lived application state.
• Pixels (also called web beacons or tags). These are tiny, usually invisible elements embedded in a page or message that can record that something was loaded. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking pixels.

Cookies and similar technologies can be "strictly necessary" (the service does not work without them), or "non-essential" (they add convenience or help us understand usage, but the service still works if you decline them).

2. How we use them

Our use of these technologies is intentionally different on the marketing site and inside the product app, so we describe each separately.

2.1 The marketing site (slidepractice.com)

The marketing site is built to be light on tracking. We use privacy-respecting, cookieless analytics to understand aggregate traffic, such as which pages are popular and roughly where visitors come from. This analytics does not set advertising cookies, does not build an advertising profile of you, and does not track you across other websites.

Any storage the marketing site uses is limited to what is strictly necessary to serve the site correctly and securely. Because the marketing site does not use non-essential cookies, it does not show a cookie banner; there is nothing optional to consent to.

2.2 The product app (once you have an account)

When you sign in to Slide Practice, the app uses strictly-necessary cookies to keep you signed in, to maintain your session, to protect against security threats, and to remember basic preferences so the app behaves the way you left it. It may also use optional, privacy-respecting analytics to help us understand how the product is used in aggregate so we can improve it.

The app shows a cookie banner the first time you visit, where you can:

• Accept all (allow optional functional and analytics cookies in addition to the strictly-necessary ones);
• Reject non-essential (keep only the strictly-necessary cookies); or
• Customise (choose which optional categories to allow).

You can change your choice at any time from the cookie settings in the app. Whatever you choose, the strictly-necessary cookies remain in place because sign-in and security do not work without them.

3. Categories of cookies we use

The table below lists the categories we use, whether they are optional, and what they are for. There are no advertising or marketing cookies anywhere in Slide Practice, and we do not sell your data or share it for advertising.

4. Your choices and how to control cookies

You have several ways to control cookies:

• The in-app consent banner. Inside the product app you can Accept all, Reject non-essential, or Customise, and you can revisit the cookie settings to change your choice at any time.
• Your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies, block third-party cookies, or alert you before a cookie is set. The exact steps differ by browser, so check your browser's help pages. Please note that blocking strictly-necessary cookies may break sign-in and other core features, because the app cannot maintain your session without them.
• The marketing site needs no banner. Because slidepractice.com does not use non-essential cookies, there is no banner to interact with and nothing optional to opt out of there.

5. Third-party cookies

We keep third-party technologies to a minimum. The main one is our analytics provider, Plausible Analytics, which we use in a privacy-respecting, aggregate, cookieless way as described above. Where other third-party storage exists, it is for delivering and securing the service (for example authentication and security), not for advertising. The full, named list of the providers that help us run Slide Practice is set out in section 7 of our Privacy Policy.

We do not allow third-party advertising cookies, and we do not embed cross-site advertising trackers. Subscription billing is handled by Lemon Squeezy as our Merchant of Record; if you proceed to checkout, that process takes place under Lemon Squeezy's own systems and policies, and you should review their notices for how they handle cookies during payment.

6. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers can send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal or a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal that expresses a preference not to be tracked or to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. There is no single industry standard for DNT, but we honour recognised opt-out signals such as GPC where they apply.

In any case, this is largely moot for Slide Practice: we do not sell or share your personal information for advertising and we do not run cross-site advertising tracking, regardless of whether your browser sends such a signal.

7. Consent and legal basis

In regions that require prior consent for non-essential cookies, such as the EU and EEA and the UK under the GDPR, UK GDPR, and ePrivacy rules, the optional functional and analytics technologies in the product app load only after you give consent through the cookie banner. Strictly-necessary cookies do not require consent because the service cannot be provided without them, but we still tell you about them here.

This approach is consistent with the Philippines Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), under which Slide Practice acts as the personal information controller. Where consent is the basis for using non-essential cookies, you can withdraw it at any time through the cookie settings, and withdrawing it does not affect anything that happened while consent was in place. For full detail on the privacy frameworks that apply to you and how to exercise your rights, see our Privacy Policy.

This Cookies Policy is provided for your general information and is not personalized legal advice.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time, for example if we change which technologies we use or how the consent banner works. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page, and we will give more prominent notice if the changes are material. Your continued use of the site or the app after an update takes effect means you accept the revised policy.
