Cookie Policy
How AVA Training uses cookies and tracking technologies to support your learning experience.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They allow the platform to remember your actions and preferences (such as login sessions, course video playback positions, and shopping cart items) over time so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you navigate between pages.
2. Why We Use Cookies
AVA Training uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and session tokens) to:
- Ensure the secure operation of our learning management system and protect learner accounts.
- Maintain your authenticated session while watching training videos or completing visual quizzes.
- Remember your course enrollment cart and checkout progress.
- Understand how students interact with curriculum content to improve training quality and platform performance.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
We classify the cookies used on our website into three distinct categories:
- Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies: These cookies are vital for the core functionality of our LMS, such as account authentication, CSRF protection, and course enrollment shopping cart operations. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
- Analytics & Performance Cookies: These cookies collect aggregated, anonymous telemetry on how learners use our platform—such as which course modules are viewed most frequently and page load performance. This data helps us optimize platform speed and curriculum delivery.
- Functional & Preference Cookies: These cookies remember your custom preferences, such as video player volume, playback speed, and notification dismissals, to deliver a personalized learning experience.
4. Third-Party Services
Some interactive features on our platform rely on trusted third-party services that may place cookies on your device:
- Stripe: Secure, PCI-DSS compliant payment processing for course enrollments.
- Dassault Systèmes: Verification of student credentials and certification voucher issuance.
- Video CDN / Streaming: Reliable, high-definition streaming of training lectures and 3D simulation tutorials.
5. How You Can Manage Your Cookie Preferences
You have full control over non-essential cookies on AVA Training:
- You can customize your preferences at any time using our on-site Cookie Settings modal available in the website footer.
- You can configure your browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari) to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging into your student dashboard or completing course modules.
6. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in our technologies or legal requirements. We encourage learners to check back regularly for updates.
