2.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use this data to improve our website performance and user experience.

• Google Analytics (via Google Tag Manager): Tracks page views, session duration, traffic sources, and user behavior. Data is anonymized where possible.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner that allows you to:

• Accept All: Enable all cookie categories
• Reject All: Enable only necessary cookies
• Customize: Select which cookie categories to enable

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage and refreshing the page, which will show the consent banner again.

6. Browser Controls

You can also control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Each browser has different procedures for managing cookies:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari

Note that disabling all cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of our website, such as the assessment portal and CMS.

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. We currently do not respond to DNT signals as there is no industry consensus on how to interpret them. However, our cookie consent banner gives you explicit control over which tracking technologies are enabled.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulations, or our practices. We will post the updated policy on this page and update the “Last updated” date.
