Cookie policy
This website uses cookies and similar technologies to make the site and our learning platform work properly, to keep it secure, to remember your preferences, and—if you choose—to help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it.
You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences at any time via our Cookie Settings. Strictly necessary cookies are always enabled because they are required for core functionality (such as security and session management).
Your choices will be applied when you click “Accept”, “Reject non-essential”, or “Continue/Save settings” on the cookie banner or in the cookie preferences manager.
If you want, I can also rewrite the next section(s) to match this tone (categories, table, and how to withdraw consent) so the entire Cookie Policy reads consistently.

1) What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They help the website function, improve user experience, and (where you allow it) support analytics and marketing.
2) Why we use cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- keep the site and learning platform working properly (security, login/session, preference storage);
- remember your choices (e.g., cookie preferences);
- measure and improve performance and user experience (analytics, where permitted);
- support payments and embedded media (e.g., payment providers and video players, where enabled).
3. Legal basis and consent
Under EU rules on cookies/trackers, storing or accessing information on a user’s device generally requires prior consent, except where cookies are strictly necessary for the service the user explicitly requests.
We therefore:
Pre-ticked boxes are not valid consent, and users must receive clear information, including cookie duration and whether third parties have access. IP-PorTal We do not use “cookie walls” that block access unless you accept non-essential cookies.
We therefore:
- place Strictly Necessary cookies without asking for consent (because they are required for core functionality);
- ask for your consent before placing Analytics and Marketing cookies (if we use them);
- provide an easy way to refuse non-essential cookies and to withdraw consent at any time.
