6. Third-party connections (not cookies)

Your browser fetches fonts from Google's servers (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com) when you load a ClassMind page. Google receives your IP address and user-agent as part of the request. Google Fonts does not set a persistent cookie.

ClassMind is currently in invite-only beta and does not take payments, so there is no checkout and no payment-provider cookies are set. This section will be updated if that changes.

7. How to manage or delete cookies

You can change your consent choices at any time:

You can also control and delete cookies through your browser:

Note: deleting the PHPSESSID cookie will sign you out of ClassMind. For general guidance, visit ico.org.uk/your-data-matters/online/cookies/.

8. Google Consent Mode

ClassMind uses Google Consent Mode v2. When you reject analytics or marketing cookies, Google's services use a limited mode that does not store identifiable data on your device. Google may use aggregated, non-identifiable signals for modelling under its terms.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our use of cookies changes. We will show the revised date on this page and announce significant changes in the consent banner.
