1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — computer, tablet, or mobile phone — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware. They cannot access other information on your device. Cookies simply store a small amount of data related to your visit so that the website can recognize your browser on subsequent visits.

Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, local storage objects, and session storage. This policy applies to all such technologies and refers to them collectively as cookies unless otherwise specified.

3. How Long Cookies Last

3.1 Session Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device automatically when you close your browser. They are used to maintain continuity during a single browsing session and do not persist beyond that visit.

3.2 Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period, which can range from a few days to several years depending on their purpose. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them. The duration of each cookie is set in accordance with its specific function and is reviewed periodically.

4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

4.1 First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by Benrfol on benrfol.com. We use these to operate core website functions, remember your preferences, and improve our services based on how you interact with our platform.

4.2 Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies are set by domains other than benrfol.com. These are placed by external services we integrate into our website, including analytics providers, video hosting platforms used to deliver course content, and advertising networks. We do not control how third parties use the data collected through their cookies. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services that may be active on our website.

5. Your Cookie Choices and Controls

5.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences through the browser settings. You can typically set your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or notify you when a cookie is being set. The steps to manage cookies vary by browser. Please consult the help documentation of your specific browser for instructions.

Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our website. Some features, including course progress tracking and personalized settings, rely on cookies to function correctly.

5.2 Opt-Out Tools

Several industry organizations provide opt-out tools that allow you to disable targeted advertising cookies across participating networks. These include opt-out mechanisms offered by digital advertising alliances in various regions. Using these tools will not block all cookies but will limit the use of cookies for behavioral advertising purposes.

5.3 Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a Do Not Track feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. Our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals, as there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should interpret them. We will update this policy if a recognized standard becomes established.

5.4 Withdrawing Consent

Where your consent is required for the use of certain cookies, you may withdraw that consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or contacting us directly. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal.

6. Cookies and Personal Data

Some cookies may collect data that, alone or in combination with other information, constitutes personal data. Where cookies process personal data, such processing is governed by our Privacy Policy. The legal bases for processing personal data through cookies may include your consent, our legitimate interests, or compliance with legal obligations, depending on the type of cookie and its purpose.

We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information such as financial details, health data, or government identification numbers.

7. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or improvements to how we describe our practices. When we make material changes, we will update the date shown at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through the website or by email.
