Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 22, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Rigpa Awareness Academy (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website.
It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
For questions about cookies or privacy, contact:
info@rigpa.space

1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files or pieces of information stored on your device when you visit a website.
Cookies can be used for purposes such as:
  • enabling website functionality;
  • remembering user preferences;
  • remembering privacy choices;
  • measuring website traffic;
  • understanding how visitors use pages;
  • measuring advertising effectiveness.
Websites may also use technologies similar to cookies, including browser localStorage, sessionStorage, pixels, tags and other identifiers.
In this Policy, references to “cookies” may also include comparable tracking or storage technologies where appropriate.

2. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set on behalf of the website you are visiting.
Third-party cookies or technologies may be provided by external services used by the website, such as analytics or advertising providers.
Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy policies.

3. Cookie Categories
Our website may use the following categories.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies and storage technologies are necessary for the website to operate or to provide functionality specifically requested by you.
They may be used for purposes such as:
  • website security;
  • loading and displaying the website;
  • processing forms;
  • remembering cookie and privacy preferences;
  • preventing technical errors.
These technologies cannot normally be disabled through our cookie settings because the website may not operate correctly without them.
Where applicable, they are used on the basis that they are technically necessary rather than on the basis of consent.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website.
They may measure:
  • number of visitors;
  • pages viewed;
  • traffic sources;
  • approximate geographic area;
  • visit duration;
  • interactions with website pages;
  • browser and device characteristics.
Where prior consent is required by applicable law, Analytics cookies are disabled by default and are activated only after you select the Analytics category or otherwise provide valid consent.
Advertising Cookies
Advertising cookies and similar technologies may be used to:
  • measure advertising conversions;
  • understand whether an advertisement resulted in a website visit or action;
  • create or measure advertising audiences;
  • limit repeated advertising;
  • provide more relevant advertising.
Where consent is required, Advertising technologies are disabled by default and are activated only after the visitor has actively consented.

4. Consent
When required by applicable law, non-essential cookies are not activated merely because you continue browsing the website.
You can choose which optional categories you accept using the website's cookie consent interface.
You may:
  • accept Analytics cookies;
  • accept Advertising cookies;
  • reject optional cookies;
  • change your preferences later.
Your decision will be stored so that the website can remember your preferences.
Consent can be withdrawn at any time through Cookie Settings.
Withdrawal will not affect processing that lawfully occurred before the withdrawal.

5. Cookies and Technologies Currently Used
Provider: Tilda
Purpose: Website hosting, page delivery, technical functionality, forms, infrastructure, security and storage of certain website or consent preferences.
Tilda infrastructure is used to deliver website resources such as images, scripts and other files.
Some website assets may be delivered through Tilda content-delivery infrastructure, including static.tildacdn.com.
Certain technologies used by Tilda may be considered essential where they are necessary for the technical operation of the website or to remember privacy settings.
Cookie names and storage durations may vary depending on the Tilda functionality enabled on the website.
Yandex Metrica
Provider: Yandex
Category: Analytics
Status: Optional / consent required where applicable
We use Yandex Metrica to understand website traffic and visitor interaction.
Yandex Metrica may use cookies, localStorage and similar browser technologies.
Depending on configuration, Yandex Metrica may use identifiers including:

Cookie / storage item

Typical purpose

Typical duration

_ym_uid

Distinguishes website visitors

approximately 1 year

_ym_d

Stores information relating to the first visit

may persist alongside analytics identifiers

_ym_isad

Determines whether an ad blocker is present

approximately 20 hours

_ym_metrika_enabled

Checks whether analytics cookies are operating correctly

approximately 60 minutes

_ym_visorc_*

Supports Session Replay/Webvisor where that feature is enabled

approximately 30 minutes

gdpr, is_gdpr, is_gdpr_b

up to approximately 2 years

Yandex localStorage identifiers

Analytics functionality and visitor identification

varies depending on the item and configuration

Yandex may modify its cookies, identifiers and retention periods from time to time.
Yandex Metrica must remain disabled until Analytics consent is granted where prior consent is required.

6. Google Analytics
Provider: Google
Category: Analytics
Status: May be introduced in the future
We may introduce Google Analytics to measure website usage.
Google Analytics commonly uses cookies such as:
  • _ga;
  • _ga_<container-id>.
These cookies may be used to distinguish visitors and sessions and measure interactions with the website.
If Google Analytics is enabled, it will be classified as an Analytics service.
Where consent is required, Analytics storage will be set to a non-consenting state by default and analytics tracking requiring consent will not be activated until consent is obtained.
Google's cookie names and durations may change over time.

7. Google Consent Mode
If Google Analytics or other Google tags are implemented, we may use Google Consent Mode to communicate the visitor's cookie choices to Google services.
Where appropriate, our default settings for visitors requiring consent will restrict analytics and advertising storage until the corresponding consent has been provided.
Use of Consent Mode does not replace the requirement to provide an appropriate cookie consent interface.

8. Meta Pixel
Provider: Meta Platforms
Category: Advertising
Status: May be introduced in the future
We may introduce Meta Pixel to measure advertising effectiveness and conversions relating to services such as Facebook and Instagram.
Meta Pixel may use cookies or identifiers such as _fbp and other technologies associated with Meta services.
These technologies may be used to:
  • identify browser sessions;
  • measure conversions;
  • attribute actions to advertisements;
  • build or measure advertising audiences.
Where consent is required, Meta Pixel will remain disabled until the visitor accepts the Advertising category.
Meta may change cookie names, purposes and retention periods over time.

9. Technologies Not Currently Used
If additional technologies are introduced, we will update our cookie configuration and, where appropriate, this Cookie Policy.

10. External Websites
The website may contain links to third-party websites and platforms.
Cookies used after you follow a link and leave our website are controlled by the relevant third party rather than by Rigpa Awareness Academy.
You should review the privacy and cookie information provided by the relevant third-party service.

11. How to Change Your Cookie Preferences
You can change your optional cookie choices through the Cookie Settings control available on our website.
Where optional technologies are consent-based, withdrawing consent should prevent those technologies from being intentionally activated on subsequent page loads.
Previously stored cookies may remain on your device until they expire or are deleted through your browser settings.

12. Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to:
  • view stored cookies;
  • remove cookies;
  • block cookies;
  • block third-party cookies;
  • delete cookies when closing the browser.
Blocking all cookies may affect website functionality, including the ability to remember privacy preferences.

13. Changes to this Cookie Policy
The technologies used on our website may change.
We may therefore update this Cookie Policy when:
  • a new analytics or advertising provider is introduced;
  • cookies or retention periods change;
  • website functionality changes;
  • applicable legal requirements change.
The most recent version will be identified by the “Last updated” date.
