Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Cowiqyu ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or interact with our platform at cowiqyu.pro. This policy describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.
By continuing to use our platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. Where consent is required by applicable law, we will ask for your explicit agreement before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how users interact with their services.
Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device. They contain only a small amount of data and cannot access other information stored on your device.
2.1 How Cookies Are Stored
Cookies can be stored in two ways depending on their type:
- Session cookies - these are temporary cookies that exist only during a single browsing session. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies - these remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are reactivated each time you visit the website that created them.
2.2 First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
- First-party cookies are set directly by us and are used to operate and improve our platform.
- Third-party cookies are set by external service providers whose features or services are embedded in our platform, such as analytics providers or payment processors.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on our platform:
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the platform to function correctly. They enable core features such as user authentication, session management, security, and access to protected areas of the platform. Without these cookies, services you have requested cannot be provided.
These cookies do not require your consent and cannot be disabled through our cookie settings, as the platform cannot operate without them.
3.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the platform to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, they may remember your language preference, your display settings, or whether you have previously logged in.
Information collected by functional cookies may be anonymized and cannot be used to track your activity on other websites.
3.3 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our platform - for example, which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, and whether users encounter error messages. All information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
We use this data solely to improve how our platform works and to understand user behavior patterns.
3.4 Marketing and Targeting Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
These cookies are usually placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited our platform and this information may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
4. Cookie Details
The table below provides a summary of the main cookies used on our platform:
| Cookie Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |

5. Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other technologies that function in a similar way:
5.1 Web Beacons
Web beacons (also called pixel tags or clear GIFs) are tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails. They help us understand how users interact with our content, including whether emails have been opened and which links have been clicked.
5.2 Local Storage
We may use local storage technologies built into your browser to store data on your device. Unlike cookies, data stored in local storage is not automatically sent to our servers with every request. We use local storage to improve platform performance and to save your preferences between sessions.
5.3 Session Storage
Session storage works similarly to local storage but is cleared automatically when you close your browser tab or window. We use it to maintain temporary state within a single browsing session.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our platform are placed by third-party service providers that help us deliver our services. These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies, and we encourage you to review them.
Categories of third-party services that may set cookies include:
- Analytics and performance measurement services
- Payment processing services
- Video hosting and streaming services for seminar content
- Customer support and live chat tools
- Advertising and remarketing platforms
We do not control the cookies set by third parties and cannot be held responsible for their content or accuracy. Please refer to the respective third-party privacy policies for more information.
7. Managing and Controlling Cookies
You have several options for managing and controlling cookies. Please note that restricting cookies may affect the functionality of our platform.
7.1 Cookie Consent Settings
When you first visit our platform, you will be presented with a cookie consent notice that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by accessing the cookie settings option available in the footer of our platform.
7.2 Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View what cookies have been set and delete them individually or in bulk
- Block third-party cookies while allowing first-party cookies
- Block all cookies from being set
- Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being placed
The process for managing cookies varies between browsers. Please consult the help documentation for your specific browser to find instructions on how to manage cookie settings.
7.3 Opt-Out Tools
For analytics and advertising cookies, you may be able to opt out using industry-standard tools provided by third parties. Information about these opt-out mechanisms is typically available on the websites of the relevant third-party providers.
7.4 Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Our platform currently does not alter its behavior in response to DNT signals, as there is no universally accepted standard for interpreting such signals. However, you can use the cookie management options described above to limit tracking.
8. Cookies and Children
Our platform is not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our platform, please contact us at [email protected] so we can take appropriate action.
9. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the technologies we use, or applicable legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through the platform or by other means.
We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
