Cookies policy

About this policy

This Cookies Policy explains how ATLAS MA LLC, operating
the Derma Academy website at derma.academy
(“Derma Academy”, “we”, “us” or “our”), uses cookies and similar technologies
when you visit or interact with our website.

This policy should be read together with our
Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly
how we collect, use and protect personal information.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites may store on your browser or
device when you visit them. They help websites remember information about
your visit and provide functions such as keeping products in your shopping
cart, maintaining login sessions and remembering preferences.

Some cookies are necessary for a website to function correctly, while
others may be used for preferences, analytics, performance or other
purposes.

Similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels or other browser-based
storage technologies, may perform comparable functions. References to
“cookies” in this policy include these similar technologies where
appropriate.

How we use cookies

Derma Academy may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Keep the website and checkout functioning correctly
• Maintain your shopping cart between pages
• Recognize logged-in customers
• Maintain secure account sessions
• Remember website and cookie preferences
• Support order and payment processing
• Protect the website against fraud, abuse and security threats
• Understand website performance and technical problems
• Measure website usage where analytics technologies are enabled

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are required for core website functionality and cannot
normally be disabled through our cookie preference tools because the website
may not function correctly without them.

These cookies may support functions such as:

• Shopping cart functionality
• Checkout and order processing
• Customer login and authentication
• Account security
• Session management
• Fraud prevention and security
• Remembering privacy and cookie choices

Because Derma Academy uses ecommerce functionality, certain cookies may be
necessary to remember the contents of your cart and allow you to move
through the checkout process.

WooCommerce cookies

Derma Academy uses WooCommerce to provide ecommerce functionality.
WooCommerce may use cookies or browser storage to support functions such
as determining when cart contents change, remembering items in a customer’s
cart and maintaining customer sessions.

These technologies are generally necessary for features such as the cart,
checkout and customer account to operate correctly.

Payment and security technologies

When you proceed to checkout or make a payment, our payment providers may
use cookies or similar technologies for transaction processing, security,
authentication and fraud prevention.

Payment-related technologies may help verify that a transaction is
legitimate, protect payment systems against abuse and support payment
features available during checkout.

Some of these technologies may be provided directly by third-party payment
service providers. Their use of information is also subject to their
applicable privacy and cookie practices.

Preference cookies

Preference cookies may allow the website to remember choices you make so
that you do not need to select them again during every visit.

For example, these cookies may remember certain website preferences,
privacy choices or interface settings.

Analytics and performance cookies

We may use analytics and performance technologies to understand how
visitors use Derma Academy and how the website performs.

Where enabled, these technologies may collect information such as:

• Pages visited
• Approximate visit duration
• Navigation between pages
• Browser and device type
• General website performance information
• Technical errors or problems
• Approximate geographic information derived from technical data

We use this information to understand website usage, identify technical
problems and improve the performance and usability of Derma Academy.

Where applicable law requires consent before analytics or other
non-essential cookies are used, those technologies should remain disabled
until the appropriate consent has been provided.

Marketing and advertising cookies

Derma Academy may use marketing or advertising technologies in the future
to measure advertising performance or understand interactions with our
campaigns.

If such technologies are used, they may be provided by third-party
advertising or analytics platforms and may recognize your browser or device
across different visits or websites, depending on the provider and your
settings.

Where consent is legally required for these technologies, they should not
be activated until you have made the appropriate cookie choice.

First-party and third-party cookies

Cookies placed directly by derma.academy are known as
first-party cookies.

Some functionality may also involve third-party cookies
or similar technologies provided by services integrated with our website,
such as payment, security, analytics, video hosting or other technology
providers.

Third parties may process information collected through their technologies
according to their own privacy policies and terms.

How long cookies remain

The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose.

Session cookies generally remain only while your browser
session is active and are removed when the session ends.

Persistent cookies may remain on your device for a defined
period or until you remove them. They may be used to remember preferences,
maintain certain account functions or recognize returning browsers.

Cookie durations may change when our website, ecommerce platform or
third-party services are updated.

Your cookie choices

Where available, you can use the cookie preference controls displayed on
Derma Academy to accept, reject or manage categories of non-essential
cookies.

Essential cookies required to operate the website, secure transactions or
provide a service you request may remain active even when optional cookies
are rejected.

You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings.
Most modern browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete them, block
certain cookies or prevent websites from storing new cookies.

What happens if you disable cookies?

You can block cookies through your browser, but blocking essential cookies
may prevent parts of Derma Academy from working correctly.

For example, disabling certain cookies may affect:

• Your shopping cart
• Checkout functionality
• Account login
• Session security
• Saved preferences
• Payment or fraud-prevention functionality

Rejecting optional analytics or marketing cookies should not prevent you
from accessing the basic content of our website or purchasing products,
except where a particular third-party feature necessarily depends on that
technology.

Do Not Track and browser signals

Some browsers and devices provide privacy signals or “Do Not Track”
settings. The way websites and third-party services respond to these
signals may vary because there is not a single universally implemented
standard for every type of browser signal.

Where applicable law requires us to recognize a particular legally valid
privacy preference signal, we will handle that signal as required.

Personal information and cookies

Some information collected through cookies or similar technologies may be
considered personal information under applicable privacy laws, particularly
when it can be associated with an account, device or other identifier.

For information about how we collect, use, retain and protect personal
information, and the privacy rights that may be available to you, please
review our Privacy Policy.

Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy when we change the technologies,
providers or services used by Derma Academy or when applicable legal
requirements change.

The latest version will be published on this page with its updated revision
date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
