Data Retention & Your Control
Different types of cookies have varying lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser, while persistent cookies might stay for months or even years depending on their purpose. For example, your login preferences might be saved for several months, while analytics data is typically aggregated and anonymized within weeks.
We regularly review and clean up old data, keeping only what's necessary to provide you with quality baking education services. Most tracking data is automatically purged after 24 months unless there's a specific educational or business reason to retain it longer.
You have significant control over how cookies work on your device. Besides the rejection option below, you can modify your browser settings to block certain types of cookies or delete existing ones. Keep in mind that disabling some cookies might affect your ability to access certain features of our platform.
Manage Your Cookie Preferences
You can opt out of non-essential tracking cookies while still accessing our complete library of baking and pastry education content. Essential cookies for site functionality will remain active to ensure your learning experience isn't interrupted.
About Essential Cookies
Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they're required for basic website functionality. These include cookies that remember your login status, course enrollment, and payment processing. Without these, you wouldn't be able to access your account or enroll in baking courses.

Third-Party Services & Integrations
Our baking education platform integrates with several third-party services to enhance your learning experience. These include video hosting services for our tutorial content, analytics platforms to understand student engagement, and payment processors for course enrollments.
Each of these services may set their own cookies and have their own privacy policies. We carefully select partners who share our commitment to student privacy and data protection. However, we recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these services if you have specific concerns about data handling.
When you reject non-essential cookies through our system, we also send signals to our partners to respect your privacy preferences where technically possible. Some third-party services may still collect basic usage data necessary for their functionality.
