Finance Leader Academy — Cookie Policy
Effective date: 9/11/2026
Last updated: 9/11/2026
1. Who we are
Finance Leader Academy is operated by McLain Solutions, LLC ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on https://www.financeleaderacademy.com, including our course, account, and checkout pages where this policy is displayed.
McLain Solutions, LLC is responsible for the personal information we process through these technologies. Read this policy together with our Privacy Policy, which explains our wider personal information practices.
2. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, phone, or other device when you visit a website. They can help a website maintain a session, remember choices, and understand how its services are used.
Similar technologies include pixels, tags, scripts, and browser local storage that store or access information on your device. References to “cookies” in this policy include these technologies where relevant.
First-party cookies are set on our website’s domain. Third-party cookies are set on another provider’s domain. Session cookies generally expire when your browsing session ends; persistent cookies remain until their stated expiry or until deleted. Some browser storage remains until it is cleared. The inventory below identifies the duration or deletion rule for each technology we use.
3. Why we use cookies
We distinguish between strictly necessary technologies and optional technologies. The inventory below identifies which categories and providers are actually used on our website.
| Category | Purpose | Our consent approach |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Provide essential functions such as secure sign-in, session continuity, checkout requested by you, and remembering your cookie choices. | Used without consent only where necessary to transmit communications or provide a service you explicitly request. |
| Preferences and functionality | Remember optional settings or provide enhanced features that are not essential to the requested service. | Off until you consent. |
| Analytics | Understand visits and use of pages or features so we can assess and improve our website. | Off until you consent. |
| Marketing and affiliate tracking | Measure campaigns, attribute referrals or purchases, or support advertising and remarketing. | Off until you consent. |
A technology is not strictly necessary simply because it is useful to our business. Optional tracking within an otherwise essential service remains subject to your choices.
4. Your choices and consent
Our cookie banner lets you Accept all, Reject optional cookies, or Manage preferences. Optional categories are off by default. You may consent to individual optional purposes without accepting all of them.
We do not set or access optional cookies before you consent. Continuing to browse, scrolling, closing the banner, or accepting our terms does not constitute cookie consent. If you do not make a choice, optional technologies remain off.
You can change your choices or withdraw consent at any time using Cookie Settings in our website footer. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it. After withdrawal, we stop further consent-based storage, access, and processing for the purposes you turned off. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Rejecting optional cookies does not prevent access to our core website services. Features that depend on optional third-party technologies may remain unavailable unless you enable them. Where applicable, we explain the choice before loading that content.
We retain a record of your choice to respect your preferences and demonstrate consent. Our preference record lasts 30 days, after which we request a new choice. We also request fresh consent before introducing materially different optional purposes or providers. You may need to choose again if you clear browser storage or use a different device or browser.
5. Cookie and technology inventory
The following inventory identifies the technologies used on our website, their providers, purposes, and lifetimes, including third parties that receive or can access information.
6. Service providers and embedded content
Our website uses Kajabi to support website and online learning services. Other providers, if enabled, may support payment processing, media, analytics, or marketing. Their relevant technologies and access to information are identified in the inventory above.
Optional embedded content, such as a video or social media feature that uses tracking, is blocked until you provide the relevant consent. A provider may process information under its own privacy notice as well as provide services to us. Please review the provider links in the inventory for details.
External websites you visit through our links apply their own cookie policies and settings. Your choices on our website do not automatically apply to those websites.
7. Personal information and international transfers
Depending on the technology, cookie-related information may include online identifiers, IP addresses, browser and device details, pages visited, interactions, and referral information. This information may constitute personal data, even when it does not include your name. The inventory identifies the information involved in each use.
Where optional technologies process personal data for the purposes you select, we rely on your consent. For strictly necessary technologies that process personal data, the applicable basis may be performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, or our legitimate interests in operating and securing the service, depending on the purpose. Our Privacy Policy explains the specific purposes and applicable legal bases.
We operate in the United States. Where cookie-related personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, applicable transfer safeguards are required. Cookie consent is not, by itself, a substitute for the safeguards required for an international transfer.
8. Browser controls and retention
You can also use your browser settings to view, block, or delete cookies and other stored website data. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent sign-in, checkout, or other requested functions from working correctly.
Deleting cookies does not necessarily withdraw consent recorded elsewhere, and withdrawing consent does not necessarily remove every cookie previously stored by a third party. Use Cookie Settings to withdraw consent and browser controls to remove remaining stored data. Deleting cookies also does not automatically delete personal information already collected.
Cookie lifetimes appear in the inventory. Retention of personal information collected through cookies can differ from the lifetime of a cookie; our Privacy Policy explains the applicable retention periods or criteria.
9. Your privacy rights
Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, or obtain a portable copy of your personal data, and to object to certain processing, subject to applicable conditions. You can withdraw consent at any time and lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your country of habitual residence, place of work, or the location of an alleged infringement. UK residents can contact the Information Commissioner’s Office at https://ico.org.uk.
Contact us using the details below to exercise your rights or ask about this policy. You do not need to complain to us before contacting a supervisory authority.
10. Changes to this policy
We update this policy and the cookie inventory when our technologies or practices change. The date above identifies the latest update. Changes to this policy do not override your existing choices; we obtain fresh consent where required before enabling new optional processing.
