Cookies Policy

This Cookies Policy explains how SkillForge Academy ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at SkillForgeAcademy.com ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies help websites to remember information about your visit, like your preferred language and other settings. This can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, SkillForge Academy) are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party cookies". Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. For example, we use cookies to understand how visitors use our website, to personalize content and advertising, to provide social media features and to analyze our traffic. We also use cookies to remember your preferences and to provide you with a more tailored experience.

Specifically, we use cookies to:

• Help you navigate our website more efficiently.
• Remember your login details.
• Personalize your experience.
• Understand how you use our website so we can improve it.
• Show you ads that are relevant to your interests.
• Collect information about your browsing habits.
• Remember your settings between visits.

What types of cookies do we use?

We use the following types of cookies:

• Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and enable you to use its features. Without these cookies, some services on our website, such as accessing secure areas, may not be available.
• Performance cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages visitors go to most often and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don't collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how our website works.
• Functionality cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customize. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
• Targeting or advertising cookies: These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization.

How can I control cookies?
