1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the site owners.
Cookies allow a website to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and improve your overall experience. They can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (stored on your device for longer periods).

Note: Blocking all cookies may prevent you from logging in and using core features of the Academy platform.
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals websites not to track your browsing activity. Currently there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As such, our platform does not currently alter its behaviour based on DNT signals. However, you can use the cookie toggles in Section 3 to control tracking on our platform directly.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Your continued use of our platform after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
