How we use cookies and similar technologies on our platform
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferred settings or login status, making your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.
We also use similar technologies like localStorage and sessionStorage in your browser to store authentication tokens and course progress data necessary for the platform to function.

The essential cookies and browser storage entries listed above are strictly necessary for our platform to function. Without them, you cannot log in, access your courses, or complete payments. Because they are essential to the service, they cannot be turned off.
You can control and/or delete cookies through your browser settings. Instructions for common browsers:
Note: If you delete or disable essential cookies and browser storage, you will be logged out and may be unable to access course content until you log in again.
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, cookies used to track your behavior across websites for advertising purposes are considered "sale" of personal information. We do not use such cookies and therefore do not sell your personal information. For more information, see our Privacy Policy.
We may update this Cookie Policy as we add or change technologies on our platform. We will update the "Last Updated" date when we do. Continued use of our platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
