Cookie Policy

Last updated: October 15, 2026

DavidBurch.com uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, keep accounts working, process purchases, remember certain preferences, maintain security, and understand how the website is used.

This policy explains what that means and what choices you have.

1. What Is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small piece of information stored by your web browser when you visit a website.

Cookies can help a website remember information between page views or between visits.

For example, cookies can help:

  • keep you signed into an account
  • maintain a shopping or checkout session
  • remember preferences
  • protect against fraud
  • understand whether the website is working correctly
  • measure how visitors use the site

Cookies do not automatically give a website access to everything on your computer.

2. Session and Persistent Cookies

Some cookies are session cookies. They normally last only for the current browsing session and are removed after the session ends.

Others are persistent cookies. They remain for a period of time after you leave the website and may allow the website or service provider to recognize your browser when you return.

3. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

A first-party cookie is associated with the website you are visiting.

A third-party cookie may be placed or read by another service that provides functionality to the website.

For example, third-party technology may support:

  • payment processing
  • video
  • course delivery
  • analytics
  • other embedded features

4. Cookies DavidBurch.com Needs to Operate

Some cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the website and services you request.

These may support functions such as:

  • signing into an account
  • keeping a session active
  • providing purchased course content
  • processing checkout
  • remembering security information
  • detecting fraudulent or suspicious activity
  • maintaining website functionality
  • remembering choices necessary to provide a requested service

Blocking these cookies can prevent parts of DavidBurch.com from functioning properly.

5. Preference and Functionality Cookies

Some cookies may remember choices that make the website easier to use.

Examples can include:

  • account preferences
  • interface settings
  • remembered website choices
  • whether you have already responded to a particular notice

These cookies are intended to improve functionality rather than create an advertising profile.

6. Analytics

DavidBurch.com may use analytics technology to understand how the website is being used.

Analytics can help answer questions such as:

  • Which pages are visited most often?
  • How do visitors reach the site?
  • Are visitors encountering errors?
  • Which devices or browsers are commonly used?
  • How effectively are pages helping visitors find the information they need?

Analytics information may include technical data such as:

  • browser type
  • device type
  • approximate geographic region
  • referring source
  • pages viewed
  • time and date of access
  • cookie or similar identifiers

We use analytics to understand and improve the site rather than to learn private facts about individual visitors.

7. Course and Account Platform

DavidBurch.com currently uses the New Zenler platform for website, course, membership, or account-related functionality.

New Zenler may use cookies or similar technologies necessary to provide platform functions.

Those technologies may help with activities such as:

  • account authentication
  • course access
  • checkout
  • security
  • session management
  • platform performance

Some cookies used on DavidBurch.com may therefore be technically set or processed by services involved in operating the site rather than directly by David Burch.

8. Payment Services

When you make a purchase, a payment processor may use cookies or similar technologies for:

  • payment processing
  • fraud detection
  • security
  • authentication
  • regulatory compliance

Those technologies are governed in part by the payment provider’s own policies.

9. Embedded Content

Pages on DavidBurch.com may contain content provided by third parties, such as:

  • videos
  • social-media content
  • payment functions
  • scheduling or meeting services
  • other embedded tools

When you interact with embedded third-party content, the provider may receive technical information or use cookies according to its own policies.

Where reasonably practical, we try to avoid unnecessary third-party tracking.

10. Advertising and Tracking

DavidBurch.com does not intend to use cookies merely to create an unnecessarily detailed profile of visitors.

If we use advertising, remarketing, conversion-measurement, or other tracking technology that materially expands the way visitor information is used, we will update this policy and provide any consent or opt-out mechanism required by applicable law.

We will not describe a technology here as active merely because our website platform is capable of supporting it.

11. Cookie Consent

Depending on your location, the website may display a cookie or privacy preference notice.

Where applicable law requires consent before certain non-essential cookies are used, we intend to obtain the required consent.

Strictly necessary cookies may still operate because the website cannot provide requested functions without them.

12. Managing Cookies

Most browsers allow you to manage cookies.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

  • view stored cookies
  • delete cookies
  • block all cookies
  • block third-party cookies
  • allow cookies only from selected websites
  • instruct the browser to delete cookies when it closes

Your browser’s privacy or settings menu normally contains these controls.

Blocking all cookies can interfere with features such as:

  • login
  • checkout
  • membership access
  • course progress
  • saved preferences

13. Browser Privacy Tools

You may also use browser privacy extensions or other tools designed to restrict tracking technologies.

Those tools can sometimes affect website functionality.

If a privacy tool prevents you from accessing something you purchased, contact us and we will make a reasonable effort to help identify another way to access it.

14. Global Privacy Control and Similar Signals

Some browsers and extensions can send privacy preference signals such as Global Privacy Control.

Where applicable law requires recognition of a particular signal, we will make reasonable efforts to honor it.

Our ability to respond automatically may also depend upon capabilities provided by our website platform and service providers.

15. Cookies Do Not Eliminate Your Other Privacy Rights

Managing cookies is only one way of controlling information.

Questions concerning account information, purchases, email communications, or other personal information are governed by our Privacy Policy.

16. Changes to This Cookie Policy

The technologies used on DavidBurch.com may change over time.

We may update this policy when we:

  • add or remove service providers
  • begin using a materially different analytics technology
  • introduce advertising or remarketing
  • change our website platform
  • otherwise change our use of cookies in a material way

The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated.
