What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to store information. They are widely used to make websites work, keep them secure, remember your preferences, and help analyze how services are used. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels. In this policy, the term “cookies” covers all of these technologies.

How we use cookies

We use a limited set of cookies to operate this website, remember your choices, and understand aggregated usage to improve the learning experience. We do not use cookies to make financial promises, and we do not use them to offer career guarantees.

Categories of cookies

• 1) Strictly necessary cookies

  Required for the website to function and for security. Examples include cookies that remember your cookie choices, maintain navigation state on mobile, or protect against spam in forms.

  Legal basis: Legitimate interests in providing a secure, functional service.

  Typical duration: Session or up to 12 months for the cookie-preference record.

• 2) Preferences and accessibility

  Optional cookies that remember non‑essential settings such as language or display preferences.

  Legal basis: Consent.

  Typical duration: Up to 12 months.

• 3) Analytics and performance

  Optional cookies that help us measure aggregated traffic and understand how pages are used so we can improve structure and content. Metrics are used for education‑focused optimization and not for profiling across third‑party sites.

  Legal basis: Consent.

  Typical duration: Session or up to 13 months in line with French guidance.

• 4) Functionality

  Optional cookies that support non‑essential features such as saving form progress or remembering selections between visits.

  Legal basis: Consent.

  Typical duration: Up to 12 months.

Your choices and consent

• You can accept or refuse non‑essential cookies. Strictly necessary cookies operate without consent because they are required to provide the service you request.
• You can change your preferences at any time by clearing cookies in your browser or adjusting settings in your browser’s privacy controls.
• Most browsers let you block cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a notice before a cookie is stored. If you block strictly necessary cookies, some parts of the site may not function as intended.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Retention

Session cookies are removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies have a set duration and expire automatically. We keep non‑essential cookies no longer than necessary for their purpose and, for analytics, not more than 13 months. Records of consent may be retained as required for compliance.

Data sharing and third parties

• We do not sell personal data.
• Service providers that help us operate the website may process cookie-derived information under our instructions and subject to confidentiality and security obligations.
• Where feasible, analytics are configured to use aggregated or pseudonymized data.

International transfers

We operate from France. If cookie-related information is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as contractual protections to help ensure an adequate level of protection consistent with GDPR requirements.

Your rights

Subject to conditions and exceptions under GDPR and French law, you may have the right to access, rectify, erase, or restrict processing of your personal data, the right to data portability, and the right to object to processing. You also have the right to withdraw consent at any time for non‑essential cookies.

You may contact us at [email protected]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in France.

Policy updates

We may update this Cookies Policy to reflect changes in technology, regulations, or our services. Updates take effect when posted on this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
