1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and provide a more consistent experience across sessions. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website ("third-party cookies").

Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, local storage objects, and session storage. This policy refers to all such technologies collectively as "cookies."

  • Measuring page load times and technical performance
  • Identifying broken links or error pages
  • Understanding navigation patterns and content engagement

3.3 Functional Cookies

3.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies

These cookies may be set through the Site by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content or advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are placed directly by us and are used to operate the Site and provide our services. Third-party cookies are placed by external service providers, such as analytics platforms, embedded content providers, and advertising networks. We do not control the use of third-party cookies, and you should review the privacy and cookie policies of those third parties directly.

Third-party services that may place cookies on your device when you use our Site include, but are not limited to, analytics tools, video hosting services for lecture content, and customer support platforms.

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device automatically when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate the Site during a single visit.

5.2 Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and recognize you on return visits. The duration of each persistent cookie varies depending on its purpose and may range from a few days to several years.

6. Your Cookie Choices and Controls

You have the right to decide whether to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can exercise your preferences in the following ways:

6.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only certain types of cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set. Please note that restricting cookies may affect the functionality of the Site. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions:

6.2 Opt-Out Tools

Some third-party analytics and advertising providers offer opt-out mechanisms that allow you to prevent data collection across websites. You may also use browser extensions designed to block tracking technologies.

6.3 Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals, our Site does not alter its behavior in response to DNT signals at this time.

7. Cookies and Personal Data

Some cookies we use may process data that can be used to identify you, either directly or in combination with other information. Where cookies involve the processing of personal data, such processing is governed by our Privacy Policy.

Your continued use of the Site after any changes to this policy constitutes your acknowledgment of the updated terms.
