This Cookie Policy explains how D&B Knowles System Learning LLC ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies, local storage, and similar web tracking technologies when you visit our website.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work properly, provide a more streamlined user experience, remember your preferences, and provide analytical data to website operators.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
We categorize cookies deployed on this website into three main types:
A. Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for you to navigate the website and use its key features, such as submitting course registration forms, navigating between course catalog tabs, and remembering your cookie consent choice. Because the site cannot function properly without these cookies, they cannot be switched off in our preference center.
B. Performance & Analytical Cookies
These cookies allow us to count page visits, evaluate bounce rates, and observe how prospective students navigate through our curriculum specifications. This information is aggregated and completely anonymized, assisting us in optimizing site speed and technical content clarity.
C. Search Advertising & Conversion Measurement Cookies
We advertise our professional training programs on search engines, including Google Ads search results. Advertising cookies and conversion tags help us measure whether individuals who clicked on an advertisement subsequently requested a course syllabus or submitted an enrollment inquiry.
These tags do not collect raw personally identifying information such as financial records or plain-text passwords. They ensure that prospective learners searching for database training receive relevant, non-intrusive educational options.
