What we do not set
- No advertising or retargeting cookies
- No third-party analytics in the child experience
- No social media pixels
- No cross-site tracking of any kind
Because we set no advertising or tracking cookies, we do not show a cookie consent banner. Essential cookies do not require consent, and we have chosen not to use any cookie that would.
Controlling cookies
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking the essential cookies will sign you out and prevent Tara from working.
Local storage
We use a small amount of browser local storage to hold an in-progress homework session, so a child does not lose work if the page reloads. It is cleared when the session ends.
