Cookie Policy
Our website uses the following types of cookies:
- Essential Cookies: Required for the website to function properly (e.g., session management).
- Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our website. We use privacy-first analytics that minimize data collection.
- Preference Cookies: Remember your settings and preferences (e.g., language, accessibility options).
- Marketing Cookies: Used to track visitors for marketing purposes (only with your consent).
What this site actually sets
- appwt_academy_session: an essential session cookie that keeps you signed in and holds your enrollment and course progress while you study. It is sent only over HTTPS and cannot be read by page scripts.
- Your cookie choice: the consent banner stores the choice you make in a first-party cookie or local storage entry beginning with "appwt_", so it does not ask again on every page.
- AppWT Analytics: page views are measured by our own analytics platform at analytics.appwt.com. It keeps a random visitor and session identifier in your browser's local storage (a first-party "appwt_" cookie if local storage is unavailable), and it stops measuring if you turn analytics off in the cookie banner.
- Language: if you choose a language in the translate control, Google Translate sets a "googtrans" cookie to remember it.
- Accessibility settings: the accessibility tool remembers the options you turn on in your browser's local storage.
- Payments: course checkout pages load Stripe, which may set its own cookies to process the payment and prevent fraud.
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete existing cookies. Please note that disabling cookies may affect website functionality.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
