This Cookies Policy explains how Extraskills ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at extraskills.live. By continuing to use our site, you consent to the use of cookies as described below.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies:

a) Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and form submissions. The website cannot function without these cookies.

• Session management
• Security and authentication
• Cookie consent preferences (es_cookies)

b) Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalised features.

• Dark mode preference (es_dark)
• Newsletter popup preference (es_newsletter_closed)
• Language and display settings

c) Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us improve our site.

• Page visit counts and navigation paths
• Time spent on pages
• Error logs and performance metrics

d) Marketing and Advertising Cookies

These cookies may be set by third-party advertising partners through our site. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services we use. We do not have control over these cookies. Key third parties include:

4. How to Manage Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

• Opt-Out Links: For third-party analytics, you can opt out using the respective provider's opt-out mechanisms.

5. localStorage Usage

In addition to cookies, we use the browser's localStorage to store your preferences locally on your device:

• es_cookies – Your cookie consent choice (accepted/declined)
• es_dark – Your dark mode preference (true/false)

localStorage data does not expire automatically and remains until you clear your browser data or we remove it programmatically.
