What Are Tracking Technologies?

How We Protect Your Privacy
Your privacy matters to us. We don't sell personal information to third parties, and we use industry-standard encryption to protect any data we collect. Most of our analytics data is aggregated and anonymized, meaning we see trends rather than individual behavior.
Essential cookies remain active during your session and expire when you close your browser. Analytics data is typically retained for 26 months to help us understand long-term trends in how our educational content performs. Marketing preferences are stored for up to 2 years or until you change them.
Managing Your Browser Settings
You have complete control over tracking technologies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block or delete stored data, though this might affect some site functionality.
In Chrome, go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data. Firefox users can find these options under Privacy & Security in their settings menu. Safari users should check Preferences > Privacy for similar controls.
Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies may prevent you from logging into your account or accessing certain features of our learning platform.
