Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 18, 2026
This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy, which explains how Bizon B.V. handles personal data more broadly. This page focuses on cookies and similar technologies (such as pixels and local storage) used on this website and how you can control them.

2. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, session state, or interactions. Cookies can be “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (stored for a longer period).
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as pixel tags (small code snippets that register a page view or conversion event) and local storage (browser storage used to remember preferences). For simplicity, this policy refers to these collectively as “cookies”.
Cookies may be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third parties that provide services on our behalf (third-party cookies), such as analytics or advertising platforms.
3. Why we use cookies
We use cookies for three main purposes:
- To operate the website: keep basic site functions working, remember consent choices, and support security features.
- To understand usage: measure which pages are used and how content performs so we can improve the learning portal experience.
- To measure advertising: attribute conversions, limit repeated ads, and understand which messages lead users to explore programs and register interest.
We do not use cookies to make employment or financial promises, and our educational services do not guarantee employment, promotions, certifications, business success, or financial outcomes.
4. Cookie categories we use
4.1 Essential cookies (always active)
Essential cookies are required for the site to function and for you to use key features (such as remembering your cookie preferences). These cookies do not require consent under EU rules when used strictly for necessary purposes.
Examples include: maintaining session continuity, security protections, and storing your cookie preferences.
4.2 Analytics cookies (consent required)
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website (for example, which pages are visited most often, how long people stay, and where they came from). We use these insights to improve the clarity of program information, registration journeys, and learning resources.
When analytics cookies are enabled, we may use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with IP anonymization where available. The typical analytics data retention period is 14 months in the analytics platform settings.
4.3 Marketing cookies (consent required)
Marketing cookies support advertising measurement and relevant promotions. They may be used to understand whether a user registered interest after seeing an ad, to build audiences for remarketing, and to reduce repeated ads.
When marketing cookies are enabled, we may use cookies related to Google Ads and Meta advertising tools (such as the Meta Pixel and conversion measurement). Marketing cookies do not change the educational scope of our services and are not used to make guarantees about outcomes.
