Why do we use cookies?

This policy on the use of cookies and other tracking technologies applies to all web assets of ProgExpert. The web assets of ProgExpert, use cookies to better understand how you use our websites and interact with their content. We may use cookies to remember your language preferences or to avoid requiring you to sign in every time you visit our websites.

What types of cookies are used?

ProgExpert uses first-party and third-party cookies. To help you understand the purpose of each cookie, the four types of cookies used on our websites are described below:

Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential to our websites’ basic functions, such as accessing secure areas and signing in to your user account. They allow users to navigate our websites. This category of cookies cannot be disabled.
Functionality cookies: These cookies help us tailor our websites and improve their content based on how you have used them, and configure features and other customizations such as language preferences, saved usernames and geolocation. The information tracked by these cookies is anonymous and cannot be used to disrupt your browsing activity on other websites.
Performance cookies: These cookies collect information about how you use our websites. They tell us which pages you visit, how often, which errors you encounter and how we can improve your experience.
