Cookie Policy

Version date: 19 December 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Quadrian Pte. Ltd. (Sanoanimal) uses cookies and similar technologies (e.g., pixels and web beacons) in compliance with the EU/UK ePrivacy Directive, the GDPR, and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your device. They allow us to recognize your browser, maintain your session, and analyze how you interact with our Platform. Cookies can be “Persistent” (staying on your device for a set period) or “Session” (deleted when you close your browser).

2. Legal Basis for Processing

  • Essential Cookies: Processed based on our Legitimate Interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) to provide a functional and secure website. These do not require consent.
  • Non-Essential Cookies: (Analytics, Marketing, Preferences) are processed only after you have given Explicit Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) via our Cookie Banner. You have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

To ensure transparency, we categorize our cookies as follows:

  • Strictly Necessary (Essential): These are required for the operation of our Platform, including login security, shopping cart functionality, and load balancing.
  • Functional (LMS/Portal): These remember choices you make (such as your username or language) and track your course progress within our learning portal to ensure a seamless educational experience.
  • Performance & Analytics (Google Analytics): These allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and see how visitors move around our Platform. We use IP anonymization to protect your identity. Data is typically retained for 14 months.
  • Marketing & Retargeting (Meta Pixel & Mailchimp): These record your visit to our Platform, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We use this information to make our advertising on social media more relevant to your interests and to track the effectiveness of our newsletters.

4. Data Transfers to Third Countries

Some cookies are provided by companies based in the USA (e.g., Google, Meta, Mailchimp). By consenting to these cookies, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred to the USA, where data protection levels may differ from those in the EU/UK. We utilize Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and only partner with providers that adhere to high security standards to mitigate these risks.

5. How to Control and Opt-Out

  • Browser Settings: You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Please note that blocking essential cookies may impair your ability to use the Platform.
  • Global Privacy Control (GPC): Our Platform aims to honor GPC signals where technically feasible, treating them as a request to opt-out of non-essential tracking.
  • Cookie Banner: You can change your preferences or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in our website footer.
  • California “Do Not Sell or Share”: We do not “sell” your personal data for money. However, under California law, the use of tracking cookies for cross-context behavioral advertising may be considered “sharing.” You can opt-out by declining “Marketing Cookies” in our banner.
