Cookie Policy

Last updated: May 11, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how FifthGrade (a property of GeneralDiploma.com) uses cookies and similar technologies on fifthgrade.lovable.app (the "Site"). It supplements our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They help sites remember your preferences, understand usage, and deliver functionality. We also use related technologies such as localStorage (used by features like the free-tool Hub progress tracker) and pixel tags.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary

Required for core site functionality such as page navigation, security, and remembering your cookie preferences. These cannot be disabled.

  • Cookie consent state
  • Print-mode toggle (educator vs. student blanks)
  • Hub progress (saved tools and completed setup steps), stored in localStorage

Analytics & Performance

Help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve curriculum, navigation, and print assets. Set only after you opt in.

Advertising & Personalization

Used to measure the effectiveness of any promotional content. Set only after you opt in. We do not sell your personal information; see our Do Not Sell or Share page.

3. Third-Party Cookies

When you click out to third-party tools we recommend (Khan Academy, PBS LearningMedia, CommonLit, Smithsonian Learning Lab, Amazon affiliate links), those services may set their own cookies governed by their own policies.

4. Managing Your Preferences

  • Use the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer to update your choices at any time.
  • Clear cookies and localStorage in your browser settings to reset Hub progress and consent.
  • We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as a valid opt-out.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices change. Updates will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above.
