What Are Cookies & Local Storage?
Cookies are small text data files placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit a website. Local Storage and Session Storage are modern HTML5 web technologies that allow websites to securely remember user interface preferences, preloader calibration status, and audio toggle states without sending data over every server request.
At The Performerz Academy, we use these technologies to provide you with a fluid, responsive, and visually stunning digital experience while respecting your privacy rights.
Why We Use Tracking & Storage Technologies
Our digital platform utilizes cookies and local storage for specific functional purposes:
- Site Performance & Preloading: Calibrating asset loaders so the website loads smoothly without jarring visual shifts.
- Video Playback Synchronization: Remembering video mute/unmute preferences for our background athletic choreographies.
- User Consent Records: Remembering whether you have acknowledged our Cookie Consent Banner so you aren't repeatedly prompted on every page load.
- Aggregated Telemetry: Measuring high-level anonymous visits and page interaction times to improve our class syllabus presentations.
