Cookie Policy

Effective Date: 10 August 2026
Version: 2.0

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how HackYourWay (“we”, “us”, “our”)
uses cookies and similar technologies on
https://hackyourway.site.

For the purposes of this policy, “cookies and similar technologies”
may include cookies, local storage, scripts, pixels, tags and other
technologies that store or access information on a user’s device.

HackYourWay uses these technologies for essential website functions,
consent management, analytics, security and advertising.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our
Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that may be stored on your computer,
smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies can allow a website to recognise a browser, remember
preferences, maintain functionality, measure usage or support
advertising.

Similar technologies can perform comparable functions without
technically being cookies. These may include local storage,
scripts, pixels, tags and other storage or access technologies.

3. How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies

HackYourWay may use cookies and similar technologies for the
following purposes:

  • Essential website functionality;
  • Security and fraud prevention;
  • Consent management;
  • Remembering user preferences;
  • Remembering course progress;
  • Website analytics;
  • Advertising;
  • Advertising measurement and optimisation;
  • Improving website performance.

4. Categories of Technologies

4.1 Strictly Necessary Technologies

Some technologies are necessary for the website or a service
specifically requested by the user to function.

These may include technologies used for:

  • Website security;
  • Consent management;
  • Basic website functionality;
  • Remembering a requested preference;
  • Providing a course feature requested by the user.

Where an applicable legal exemption applies, these technologies
may be used without obtaining consent.

4.2 Analytics Technologies

Analytics technologies help us understand how visitors use
HackYourWay and how we can improve the website.

Analytics technologies are used only where the applicable
consent requirements have been satisfied.

4.3 Advertising Technologies

HackYourWay uses third-party advertising services to help support
the operation of the website.

Our advertising providers may include:

  • Google AdSense
  • Monetag

Advertising technologies may process technical information,
identifiers and information about interactions with advertisements.

Where prior consent is required by applicable law, non-essential
advertising technologies are activated only after the required
consent has been obtained.

5. Google Analytics 4

HackYourWay may use Google Analytics 4 (“GA4”) to understand
how visitors interact with the website.

GA4 may collect information such as:

  • Pages visited;
  • Approximate engagement information;
  • Browser and device information;
  • Approximate geographic information;
  • Technical information;
  • Interactions with website content.

Google Analytics technologies are subject to the applicable
consent requirements and are not intentionally activated where
prior consent is legally required and has not been provided.

Google may process information according to its own privacy
policy and applicable contractual arrangements.

6. Google AdSense

HackYourWay may use Google AdSense to display advertisements.

Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, identifiers
or similar technologies to deliver, measure and optimise
advertising, depending on the user’s consent choices and
applicable configuration.

Advertising technologies that require prior consent are controlled
through our consent management mechanism.

Where available and applicable, Google may serve non-personalised
or contextual advertising when personalised advertising consent
has not been provided.

The exact advertising behaviour may depend on the user’s country,
browser, device, consent choices and Google’s current advertising
technology.

7. Monetag

HackYourWay may use Monetag as a third-party advertising technology
provider.

At the time this policy was published, HackYourWay uses Monetag’s
In-Page Push advertising format.

In-Page Push advertisements may be displayed directly within the
webpage and can contain advertising content supplied by Monetag
or its advertising partners.

Depending on the advertising technology and applicable
configuration, Monetag may process information such as:

  • IP address;
  • Browser information;
  • Device information;
  • Approximate geographic information;
  • Technical identifiers;
  • Advertisement interaction information;
  • Fraud-prevention information;
  • Advertising measurement information.

The exact information processed may vary depending on the
advertising format, device, browser, geographic location and
Monetag’s technology.

Where applicable law requires prior consent for advertising
technologies, the relevant technologies are subject to our
consent management mechanism.

Monetag may process certain information as an independent
controller. Users should consult Monetag’s own privacy
documentation for additional information about its processing
activities.

8. Consent Management Platform

HackYourWay uses a Consent Management Platform (“CMP”) to
manage user choices relating to cookies and similar technologies.

The CMP may record information necessary to remember and
demonstrate the user’s consent choices.

This may include:

  • Consent status;
  • Selected purposes;
  • Date and time of the consent decision;
  • Consent version;
  • Technical information required to enforce the decision.

Where applicable, the CMP may use the
IAB Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF)
to communicate consent signals to participating advertising
and technology providers.

9. Google Consent Mode

HackYourWay may use Google Consent Mode to communicate
applicable consent signals to Google services.

Consent Mode may adjust the behaviour of certain Google
services depending on the user’s consent choices.

Consent Mode does not itself replace a consent mechanism.
User choices are collected through the website’s consent
management interface.

10. IAB Transparency & Consent Framework

Where enabled by our CMP, HackYourWay may use the
IAB Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF)
to communicate consent signals to participating advertising
and technology providers.

The framework can allow users to make choices about different
purposes and advertising technology providers.

The exact providers and purposes presented to the user may
change as our advertising configuration changes.

11. Local Storage and Course Progress

HackYourWay may use browser localStorage to remember course
progress.

This information is intended to allow a visitor to continue
a course from where they previously stopped.

Course-progress information is stored locally in the visitor’s
browser and is not intentionally transmitted to HackYourWay’s
servers for this purpose.

Users can remove local storage information by clearing the
website’s stored data through their browser settings.

The legal treatment of local storage depends on how the
technology is used and whether it is necessary for a service
specifically requested by the user.

12. Google Fonts

HackYourWay may use fonts supplied by Google or hosted locally,
depending on the current website configuration.

Where fonts are loaded from a third-party service, the provider
may receive technical information such as an IP address as part
of the request required to deliver the font.

We aim to use locally hosted fonts where practical to reduce
unnecessary third-party requests.

13. Cookie Duration

Cookies and similar technologies may be either session-based
or persistent.

Session technologies are generally removed when the browser
session ends.

Persistent technologies may remain on the device for a period
determined by the relevant provider or until they are deleted
by the user.

Because third-party providers may change their technologies,
the exact duration of individual cookies may change over time.

14. Managing Cookies and Similar Technologies

You can control cookies and similar technologies through your
browser settings and, where available, through the Cookie
Settings control provided on HackYourWay.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

  • Block cookies;
  • Delete existing cookies;
  • Block third-party cookies;
  • Clear local storage;
  • Control website permissions.

Blocking strictly necessary technologies may cause some
website features to stop working correctly.

15. Changing or Withdrawing Consent

Where consent is required, you can change or withdraw your
consent through the website’s consent settings.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of
processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

If the Cookie Settings control is not immediately visible,
it may be available through the privacy or cookie settings
link provided on the website.

16. Global Privacy Control (GPC)

Where required by applicable law and supported by our consent
management technology, HackYourWay may recognise a valid
Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal.

The effect of a GPC signal depends on the user’s jurisdiction,
applicable law and the technologies implemented on the website.

Where applicable, a recognised opt-out signal may be used to
communicate the user’s privacy preference to relevant
advertising or technology providers.

17. Third-Party Advertising and Privacy Policies

Third-party advertising providers operate independently from
HackYourWay for certain processing activities.

Their privacy practices may change independently of this
Cookie Policy.

We recommend reviewing the relevant third-party privacy
documentation for current information about their technologies
and processing activities.

18. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, advertising
services, analytics services, consent mechanism or legal
requirements change.

When material changes are made, we will update the effective
date and version displayed at the beginning of this policy.
