Analytics and service improvement
The platform may record basic usage events such as course enrolment or checkout initiation so we can understand whether features work. We do not use this notice as permission to send marketing emails; marketing preferences are handled separately.
Managing storage
You can clear cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Removing necessary session storage may sign you out or reset some preferences.
Third-party services
Payment, authentication and other service providers may set their own cookies or similar technologies when you use their services. Their use of those technologies is governed by their own policies.
