Introduction

This Cookies Policy explains how SkillForge Academy ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, skillforgeacademy.com (the "Website"). By using our Website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a clear understanding of how we use cookies. This policy provides detailed information about what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can control their use.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website. Cookies enable the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

There are different types of cookies, including:

• First-party cookies: These are cookies set by the website you are visiting directly.
• Third-party cookies: These are cookies set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. This typically happens when the website incorporates elements from other sites, such as images, social media plugins, or advertising.
• Session cookies: These cookies are temporary and are erased when you close your browser at the end of your browsing session.
• Persistent cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them.

• Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how you use our Website, such as which pages you visit most often and if you receive error messages. This helps us to improve the performance of our Website and provide a better user experience.
• Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make (such as your language or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog.
• Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission.
• Analytics Cookies: We use analytics cookies, such as Google Analytics, to collect information about how visitors use our Website. This information is used to compile reports and to help us improve our Website. The cookies collect information in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors to the Website, where visitors have come to the Website from, and the pages they visited.
