It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, RISK ACADEMY LTD.) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons.

• Essential Cookies: Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate (e.g., to keep you logged in or to process payments).
• Analytics Cookies: Other cookies allow us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website.
• Functionality Cookies: To remember your preferences, such as your time zone or language settings.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

The specific types of cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described below:

These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas (logged-in state) and payment processing.

Examples: User authentication tokens, shopping cart session, security cookies from Stripe (for fraud detection).

Examples: Remembering your time zone settings (crucial for scheduling workshops) or volume settings on video players.

D. Targeting and Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.

Examples: Pixels from Facebook (Meta), LinkedIn, or Google Ads that help us measure the effectiveness of our ad campaigns for the event.
