Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies help websites function, remember preferences, improve performance, and understand how users engage with content. 

We use cookies in a way that aligns with our mission: to protect student privacy, support educational use, and avoid unnecessary tracking.

We limit our use of cookies to what is educationally necessary, privacy-protective, and COPPA/FERPA compliant.

​

a. Strictly Necessary Cookies

​

These cookies are essential for our Services to work. They enable features such as:

​

• secure login

• session management

• verifying user roles

• loading dashboard components

• keeping sessions active during lessons

Without these cookies, the platform cannot function. These cookies do not store personal data for advertising or tracking.

b. Functional Cookies

​

These allow the Services to remember your preferences, such as:

​

• language settings

• accessibility settings

• saved UI preferences

• selected themes or avatars (Duffles, backgrounds, etc.)

These enhance your experience but are not required to run the platform.

c. Performance & Analytics Cookies

​

These help us understand how users interact with our websites and improve Growth Lab’s experience. Examples include:

​

• pages visited

• feature usage

• error logs

• performance metrics

• load times

• aggregated user activity (non-personal)

We do not use:

​

• third-party ads

• cross-site tracking

• profiling of minors

• social media pixels

• behavioral advertising tools

Analytics are configured in privacy-preserving mode whenever possible, and may be disabled entirely in student accounts depending on district preferences.

We may use trusted service providers to help operate our Services (e.g., hosting, security, analytics, performance monitoring).These providers may place cookies only to support:

​

• site functionality

• security

• performance

• privacy-preserving analytics

They are not allowed to use data collected through our Services for their own purposes.

Cookies may be:

​

• Session Cookies: deleted when you close your browser

• Persistent Cookies: stored for a limited period or until you clear them

​

SEL DEVELO uses short-lived, minimal cookies that are automatically expired regularly.

You may choose to block, delete, or disable cookies through your browser settings.

Please note:

​

• Disabling Strictly Necessary cookies may cause Growth Lab or certain features to stop working.

• Student users in schools may have restrictions configured by their school.

​

You can adjust settings in:

​

• Chrome

• Safari

• Firefox

• Edge

• iOS / Android in-app browsers

Some browsers and devices offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) setting that allows you to signal to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is no consistent industry standard for recognizing or responding to these signals, our Services do not currently respond to DNT requests.

​

Regardless, SEL DEVELO does not track users for advertising, profiling, or cross-site behavioral purposes on any part of our Services.

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our Services, safety practices, or applicable laws. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last Revised” date at the top of this page. In certain circumstances, we may provide additional notice such as a banner or in-app message.
