Our approach
We use cookies that are essential to the operation of the service and — only with your consent — audience measurement cookies (Google Analytics) and marketing cookies (LinkedIn Insight, Meta Pixel).
A consent banner is shown on your first visit. Refusing is as simple as accepting, and you can change your mind at any time via "Cookie preferences" in the footer. No non-essential cookie is set before your explicit agreement.

Deleting your browsing data
The "Cookie preferences" panel (footer) offers a "Delete my browsing data" button: it removes non-essential cookies and local data from your device, and records a refusal going forward. Data already sent to Google Analytics is anonymized and expires automatically.
If you have an account or purchases, the related information (billing, certificates, progress) is kept in accordance with our legal and contractual obligations. You can exercise your rights (copy of your data, account deletion) from "My account" or by writing to us.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can clear or block cookies at any time through your browser settings. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from using the site (unable to sign in, forms not submitted).
