We operate as an independent educational platform serving learners throughout Canada. Our website is operated under Norwegian law and aligned with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Norwegian Electronic Communications Act.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to ensure website functionality, remember preferences, and understand basic performance. We also use local storage for certain preferences (for example, remembering your cookie choice). Local storage is stored on your device and used similarly to a persistent cookie.

How We Use Cookies

• Essential cookies: enable core features such as page navigation, security, load balancing, and your cookie preference.
• Performance and analytics (privacy-first): help us understand visits and page performance in an aggregated manner without building user profiles.
• No advertising cookies: we do not use third-party advertising, behavioral targeting, or cross-site tracking cookies.

All cookies and similar technologies are used for educational platform operation and quality improvement only, not for marketing profiles or automated decision-making.

Legal Basis for Using Cookies

- Essential cookies: necessary for our legitimate interest in providing a secure, functioning website.
- Non-essential cookies (such as analytics): used only with your consent.

You can provide or decline consent via the cookie banner displayed when you first visit the site. If you change your mind, clear your browser cookies and site data to see the banner again and update your choice.

Types of Cookies We May Set

Retention

Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies and local storage used for preferences or analytics typically remain for up to 12 months unless you delete them earlier through your browser settings.

Managing Cookies

• Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies at any time.
• Clear site data to reset your cookie choice and display the banner again.
• Blocking essential cookies may impact site functionality.

Data Sharing and Transfers

We do not sell personal data. Limited service providers may process data on our behalf for hosting, security, and performance, under contractual safeguards. Where data is transferred outside Norway or the EEA, we use lawful transfer mechanisms and appropriate protections consistent with GDPR.

Your Rights

Subject to GDPR and Norwegian law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to object to certain processing. You also have the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

You can lodge a complaint with the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet). We encourage you to contact us first so we can address your concerns.

Children’s Information

Our website and programs are intended for general audiences and do not target children. We do not knowingly use cookies to profile or track children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect operational, legal, or regulatory changes. Updates will appear on this page with a revised effective date.
