1) What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites work, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. We also use local storage, pixels, and similar technologies.
2) How we use cookies
Essential cookies to sign you in, keep your session secure, prevent fraud, and remember privacy choices.
Functional cookies to remember preferences such as captions, volume, and accessibility settings.
Analytics cookies to understand usage and improve courses. Analytics are set only after consent where required.
Advertising cookies are not used unless clearly stated and consented to in regions that require consent.
3) Your choices
3.1 Consent banner
If you visit from the EU, EEA, Switzerland, or the UK, non‑essential cookies load only after you give consent.
Our banner provides Accept and Reject options with equal prominence, and a Manage preferences link for granular choices (Essential, Functional, Analytics, Advertising).
3.2 Global Privacy Control (GPC)
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information for cross‑context behavioral advertising where applicable. We apply the opt out to your browser or device.
3.3 Do Not Sell or Share (California/CPRA)
If we engage in sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising, you can opt out at Your Privacy Choices (link in the footer). We honor GPC signals as an opt‑out preference.
3.4 Manage cookies after you consent
You can change or withdraw consent at any time via the Cookie Settings link in the footer, or by clearing cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may break some features.
4) What we set
The specific cookies we use may change over time. Our cookie banner lists current cookies and their purposes. Examples include: session identifiers; load balancing; security tokens; analytics identifiers with limited retention.
5) Retention
Cookie lifespans vary by purpose. We aim to minimize retention and rotate identifiers. Browser settings may show current expirations.
6) Updates
We may update this Policy to reflect changes to cookies or law. The "Effective date" above shows when changes took effect.
