Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 14, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Pigisakka B.V. (“Pigisakka”, “we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It supplements our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly.
Pigisakka B.V. is an education-only provider. Our services consist of online professional education for learners across Canada. We use cookies to keep the website functional, understand how pages are used, and (only if you choose) measure advertising performance.
1) What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies allow the website to remember information about your visit, such as a session identifier, preferences, or whether you have already made a cookie choice.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as pixel tags (also called web beacons) or server-side event signals. These tools can help measure usage and conversions. Where these tools are used for analytics or marketing purposes, we only activate them after you provide consent through our cookie preferences interface.
2) Cookie types by lifespan and origin
- Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. They support session continuity and basic site operations.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period (for example, 90 days or 12 months) unless you delete them earlier.
- First-party cookies are set by our website domain.
- Third-party cookies are set by external providers (for example, analytics or advertising platforms) that may be integrated into the site.
3) Categories of cookies we use
A) Essential cookies (always active)
Essential cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as navigating the website or saving your cookie preferences. These cookies do not require consent under applicable EU ePrivacy rules when they are strictly necessary for providing the service you request.
Examples include a cookie used to maintain basic session continuity and a cookie that stores your cookie consent choice so we can respect it on future visits.
B) Analytics cookies (consent required)
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. For example, they can show which pages are visited most often, how users move through the site, and where navigation may be confusing. We use this information to improve our educational information, program pages, and registration flow.
When analytics cookies are enabled, we may use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with IP anonymization where applicable. Analytics cookies are only activated after you opt in via the cookie banner or cookie settings.
C) Marketing cookies (consent required)
Marketing cookies are used to measure the performance of advertising campaigns and to show relevant messages to people who have previously visited the site. These cookies can help with conversion attribution (for example, understanding whether a form submission followed a particular ad click).
When marketing cookies are enabled, we may use tools such as Google Ads conversion tracking and the Meta Pixel. Marketing cookies are only activated after you opt in via cookie settings.

5) Third-party providers
Depending on your consent choices, the following providers may set or read cookies and similar identifiers:

- Meta Platforms, Inc. (Meta Pixel). Privacy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy
- Cloudflare (security and delivery). Privacy: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/
We do not permit these providers to use site data for their own independent commercial purposes. Where third-party tools are active, they operate under their own terms and privacy documentation.
6) Managing your cookie preferences
You can manage your cookie choices at any time using the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the footer. If you previously rejected analytics or marketing cookies, those categories will remain disabled unless you opt in later.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to delete existing cookies and block new cookies. If you block essential cookies, parts of the website may not function correctly.
