- Functional cookies remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, to make the site easier to use.
- Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our site, for example which pages are visited most and how people move around the site. This helps us improve the site and our courses. They use unique identifiers, so we treat the information as personal data.
