Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Skillsmotion uses cookies and similar technologies on skillsmotion.world, including technologies relevant to online advertising in the United States. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device. We also use localStorage to remember your cookie consent choices. Pixels, tags, and SDKs may be used by analytics or advertising partners when you opt in to optional categories.
2. Operator

3. Why we use cookies
- Enable secure operation and remember consent status.
- Measure site traffic in aggregate (analytics, with consent).
- Understand whether advertising campaigns bring visitors to the site (marketing, with consent).
4. Cookie categories
Strictly necessary
Essential for security, load balancing, and storing your consent decision. These cannot be switched off through our banner. U.S. basis: legitimate interest / necessity; GDPR basis: Art. 6(1)(f).
Analytics (optional)
Help us understand pages viewed, session duration, and technical errors in aggregated form. Activated only if you accept analytics cookies or “Accept all.” Examples may include Google Analytics or comparable tools if implemented.
Marketing (optional)
Used to measure ad performance and limit repetitive ads, including technologies associated with Google Ads (such as conversion tags or remarketing pixels) if deployed. Activated only with your consent. Under California law, this may constitute “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising; we do not sell personal information for money.
5. Specific third-party technologies (when enabled)
If marketing or analytics categories are active, providers may include:
- Google LLC — Analytics and/or Ads measurement; see Google Advertising Technologies and Google Privacy Policy.
- Hosting and CDN providers for delivery and security logs.
We do not load optional third-party marketing or analytics scripts until you provide consent through the on-site banner (except strictly necessary technologies).
6. Managing your choices
When you first visit, a banner lets you Accept all, Decline optional cookies, or open Cookie settings to choose categories. You may change your decision later by clearing site data in your browser and revisiting the site, or by using the banner if it reappears after clearing storage.
Consent is stored locally under cookie_consent until you clear it.
7. U.S. opt-out of targeted advertising
Residents of California and certain other states may opt out of “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising by declining marketing cookies on our site and using industry tools:
- Google Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com/
- Network Advertising Initiative: https://optout.networkadvertising.org/
- Digital Advertising Alliance: https://optout.aboutads.info/
Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals: where required by applicable state law, we honor recognized opt-out preference signals for targeted advertising in addition to on-site controls.
8. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” (DNT). There is no uniform U.S. standard for responding to DNT; we treat explicit cookie choices and applicable opt-out signals as primary controls.
9. Retention
- Session cookies: deleted when you close the browser.
- Persistent cookies: typically 1–24 months, depending on purpose and vendor.
- Consent record: until you clear browser storage or update your choice.
10. Your rights
You may withdraw optional cookie consent at any time using the methods above. For access, deletion, or other privacy rights, see our Privacy Policy.
11. Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy; the “Last updated” date will change accordingly.
