📊 Analytical Cookies
Help us understand how visitors interact with the website — most visited pages, time spent, traffic sources, course completion rates. All data is anonymized and aggregated.

Remember your customization preferences (language, region, currency for purchases). They enhance your experience but are not strictly necessary.
🎯 Marketing Cookies
