Our Approach to Cookies
Course Careers uses a privacy-first approach. We do not set analytics or tracking cookies. Our analytics run through Cloudflare Zaraz, which proxies data without setting cookies on your device and anonymises your IP address before it reaches any analytics provider.
Cookies We Use
The only cookies on our site are essential security cookies set by Cloudflare, our hosting and security provider:
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| __cf_bm | Bot management — distinguishes humans from automated traffic to protect the site. | 30 minutes |
| cf_clearance | Records that you passed a Cloudflare security challenge. Prevents repeated challenges. | Up to 1 year |
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function securely and cannot be disabled.
What About Analytics?
We use Google Analytics 4 for anonymised traffic analysis, but it runs entirely through Cloudflare Zaraz — a server-side proxy that:
- Does not set any cookies on your device.
- Strips your IP address before data reaches Google.
- Prevents direct communication between your browser and Google's servers.
This means no consent banner is needed for analytics, as no personal data is transmitted to third parties.
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Options typically include blocking all cookies, blocking third-party cookies, or deleting cookies when you close your browser. Note that blocking essential cookies may affect site functionality.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above indicates the most recent revision.
