Cookie Policy

Last Updated: September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how FunAbacus.com (“FunAbacus”, “we”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies and how you can manage your choices. Please read this together with our Privacy Policy.

1. Introduction

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They serve many purposes—from enabling core functionality to remembering preferences and helping us improve lessons or show ads responsibly. At FunAbacus, cookie use aligns with GDPR (Europe), the ePrivacy rules, and CCPA/CPRA (California).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

a) Necessary Cookies (Always Active)

These enable core site functions such as page navigation, load balancing, security, and basic preferences essential for the website to function. They do not store personal identifiers and do not require consent.

b) Functional Cookies (Optional)

Functional cookies enhance user experience (e.g., remembering display preferences like larger font size). These are optional and only load if you provide consent (where required).

c) Analytics Cookies (Optional)

Analytics cookies collect anonymous statistics about how the site is used—for example, which lessons are most visited and what devices are used. We use this to improve content quality and performance. If Google Analytics is configured, these cookies load only after consent where required.

d) Advertising Cookies (Optional)

Google AdSense shows family-safe ads on FunAbacus and may set cookies to limit how often an ad appears and to measure performance. Until you allow advertising cookies, Google serves non-personalised ads only (ads based on the page content, not on your browsing history). In the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, a Google-certified consent message asks for your choice before advertising cookies are used.

3. Why We Use Cookies

Ensure the website functions properly and securely.
Remember user choices that improve readability and comfort.
Understand how visitors use our content to improve lessons.
Help fund the site through non-intrusive, family-safe ads.

When you first visit FunAbacus.com, our cookie banner appears. You may Accept All, Reject All optional cookies, or Customise by category. Your choices are stored locally so the banner does not reappear on every visit.

You can update your decision at any time using the control in the site footer.

5. Browser Controls

You can also manage cookies directly in your browser settings. Popular paths: Chrome → Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies; Safari → Preferences → Privacy; Firefox → Settings → Privacy & Security. Disabling cookies may affect stored preferences, but core educational content remains available.

6. Retention Periods

Session cookies: expire when you close the browser.
Persistent cookies: remain for a defined period (commonly 6–12 months) unless cleared earlier.
Analytics retention: aggregated/anonymous reports often retained up to 14 months.

7. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be set by third parties we use to provide services: Google Analytics and Google AdSense. These third parties have their own policies. You can consent or refuse their cookies using our banner.

Legitimate interests: necessary cookies for security and core functionality.
Consent: functional, analytics, and advertising cookies.

9. Children and Cookies

We do not knowingly use cookies to identify children. Ads shown are filtered under Google’s family-safe policies. We encourage parents and teachers to supervise browsing and choose appropriate preferences in the cookie banner.

10. Your Rights

Withdraw consent anytime using “Cookie Preferences.”
Opt out of personalized ads via Google’s Ads Settings as an additional control.
Request deletion of voluntary data you shared via email.

11. International Compliance

FunAbacus observes GDPR, ePrivacy, and CCPA/CPRA principles. For EU/UK users, optional cookies are not placed without explicit consent. For California users, you may opt out of advertising cookies and measurement.

12. Updates

This Cookie Policy may be updated to reflect new features, legal requirements, or changes to providers. The “Last Updated” date will be revised upon any change.
