Cookie Types

We differentiate 4 types of cookies

• Necessary cookies
  Necessary cookies help make our website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. While you can decline them, The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
• Preferences cookies
  Preference cookies enable our website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, like your preferred language or the region that you are in. They may include cookies from 3rd party providers whose content we show or reference on our site. Those cookies are outside of our control and these providers may change their terms and policies at any time.
• Statistics cookies
  Statistic cookies help our company to understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting statistical information pseudonymously. That means that eg. your IP address is scrambled in such a way that it will always be the same upon each subsequent visit to our site, so that Google can process the visit as a return visit. This helps with basic statistics, but also is a factor in how well we rank in future searches. Many returning visitors means that you like our site and that is a ranking element.
  Due to the ECJ striking down the  EU-US Privacy Shield agreement, this leaves us with a open gap. The resulting implications and actions to take are not yet clear. However, when agreeing to statistics cookies, you agree that your data may be processed in the United States under less strict privacy laws and that your data will be exposed to all associated risks. Such risks include the US government being able to investigate you, simply for being a non-US citizen due to provision 702 of the FISA act, which they are able to do anyway, with or without the cookie. Also, the laws in the United States are less strict with regards to selling information to third parties.
• Marketing cookies
  Marketing cookies are used to track you across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for you and thereby more valuable for publishers and third party advertisers. At this point we do not allow ads to display on our site, so no third-party trackers are defined on our site. We may add a 1st party (us) tracker to our site at any time.

Managing cookies

You are not required to accept any cookies . Our cookies toolbar allows you to fine tune which cookies you accespt or want to revoke consent for. The resulting experience may however be affected by your decision not to accept cookies.

Eg. not accepting or revoking consent for the “Necessary” category cookies will result in your inability to log into the site, even if you have previously accepted the cookies and paid for service.

Not accepting or revoking consent for “Preference” category cookies may impede on your ability to watch instructional videos on our site, even if you have previously accepted the cookies and paid for service.

Not accepting or revoking consent for ‘Statistical” category cookies will result in us not seeing where visitors stay longer or shorter on our site. While the immediate experience will not degrade for you, it may impede us in better understanding where we need to improve our service, thereby denying you a potentially improved experience in the future.

Not accepting or revoking consent for “Marketing” category cookies may result in you seeing irrelevant ads, if we make the decision to allow carefully selected partners to offer their services through our site.
