Cookie Policy
Last Updated: Mar 18, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how WHITEFOUNTAIN, LLC (DBA as Teaching Jobs Abroad) (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on https://teachingjobsabroad.com. By continuing to browse or use our website, you agree to our use of cookies as described in this policy.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide information to the site owners.
Types of Cookies We Use
1. Essential Cookies
We currently use a small number of essential cookies for core functionality:
- Authentication Cookie: Used to maintain your login session and ensure that only you can access your account. Without it, you will not be able to log in.
- Stripe Payment Cookie: When you make a payment on our site, Stripe (our payment processor) may set one or more cookies to securely process your transaction and store session/payment status until the payment completes. These are necessary for checkout to function.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary for our website’s operation, you cannot opt out of them without impacting how our website functions. You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings, but this may prevent essential features (such as login and payment) from working.
2. Analytics and Tracking
At this time, we do not use any cookies for analytics or personalized tracking. We have integrated Umami for basic usage analytics, which does not set cookies or collect any personally identifiable information. Umami only gathers anonymous usage data to help us understand general visitor behavior (e.g., page views, referral sources) without storing or sharing personal data.
If Umami’s usage is changed or replaced with another analytics service (for example, Google Analytics), we may use non-essential cookies to gather usage metrics. In such cases, we will provide you with a clear option to opt in or out of any non-essential cookies through a cookie banner or similar mechanism.
Managing Cookies
You can manage or delete cookies at any time by adjusting your browser settings. For more information, visit All About Cookies. Note that disabling essential cookies will affect the core functionality of our site, including login and payment.
Third-Party Cookies
When you use the Stripe payment service, additional cookies may be placed or used by Stripe to improve performance, analyze user interaction, or provide relevant advertising in accordance with their Cookie Settings andPrivacy Policy. These cookies are subject to Stripe’s own policies, and you can typically manage or disable them through your browser settings. However, some may be necessary for secure payment processing.
Future Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example, if we add new cookies to enhance functionality or introduce non-essential tracking. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. If the changes are significant, we may provide additional notice (such as via email or a prominent site notice).
