Cookie Policy

Last Updated: December 18, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Malcom (“we”, “us”, and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at getmalcom.com and use our AI learning platform.

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

2. Why do we use Cookies?

We use “First-party” cookies (set by us) and “Third-party” cookies (set by our service providers) for several reasons:

  • Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our platform, such as accessing secure areas like Virtual Classrooms.

  • Performance & Functionality: These cookies enhance the performance of our AI layer but are non-essential to its use. However, without these, certain features (like your chat history preferences) may become unavailable.

  • Analytics: These help us understand how teachers and students interact with our platform so we can improve the AI’s learning experience.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Cookie Type Purpose Persistent/Session
Strictly Necessary Authentication, security, and session management for classrooms. Session
Functional Remembering AI conversation settings and language preferences. Persistent
Analytics Measuring site traffic and feature usage (e.g., Google Analytics or Plausible). Persistent

4. No Advertising Cookies

In accordance with our commitment to student privacy (COPPA/FERPA), Malcom does not use targeting or advertising cookies on our learning platform. We do not track students across third-party websites to serve ads.

5. Your Choices: How to Control Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.

  • Cookie Consent Tool: When you first visit our site, you can exercise your preferences via our consent banner.

  • Browser Settings: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject strictly necessary cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality (like logging into the AI platform) will be restricted.

  • Do Not Track: Some browsers include “Do Not Track” (DNT) features. Since there is no common industry standard for DNT, we currently respond to your choices made via our cookie banner.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
