Cookie Policy
Effective date: June 2, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Certly Skills Studio Inc. ("Certly", "we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on certly.sbs for functionality, analytics, and, if enabled, advertising/remarketing. It is intended for users in Canada.
1) What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include pixels, SDKs, and local storage. These tools can remember preferences, help us understand site usage, and support security.
2) Cookie categories we may use
- Strictly necessary: enable core site functions (e.g., page navigation, security, fraud prevention). These are generally required for the site to work.
- Preferences: remember choices (e.g., language, cookie settings).
- Analytics: help measure traffic and usage so we can improve performance (e.g., aggregated visit statistics).
- Advertising/remarketing (if used): may be used to show relevant ads and measure campaigns. These may involve third-party partners and cross-site tracking.
3) Consent and choices (Canada)
Under Canadian privacy principles (including PIPEDA), we seek meaningful consent for non-essential cookies. When required, we will present a cookie notice or preference controls. Strictly necessary cookies may be set without opt-in because they are required for requested services or essential site operations.
You can withdraw consent at any time by changing cookie preferences (if available on the site) or by using your browser controls (see below). Withdrawing consent may not affect processing that occurred before your change.
4) How to manage cookies
- Browser settings: you can block or delete cookies via your browser. Blocking some cookies may impact site functionality.
- Device controls: on mobile, you may be able to reset advertising identifiers and limit ad tracking in device settings.
- Third-party opt-outs: if analytics/advertising partners are used, they may offer opt-out tools on their own sites.
- Do Not Track: some browsers send a DNT signal; responses vary and may not be supported by all services.
5) Retention
Cookies may be session-based (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (kept until they expire or you delete them). Retention depends on the cookie’s purpose and settings.
6) Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. We will post the updated version on this page with a new effective date.
