1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in a similar way. Some are essential for a website to work. Others are optional, for example to measure how a site is used or to show advertising.
This policy covers elimusasa.com and our learning platform at learn.elimusasa.com.

4. Third-party services
- WhatsApp: our chat button opens WhatsApp only when you click it. WhatsApp’s own privacy terms then apply.
- Calendly: our booking links take you to Calendly when you click them. Calendly’s own privacy terms then apply.
- Fonts: our websites use web fonts. Where fonts are loaded from a third-party service, your browser shares your IP address with that service so it can deliver the font.
If we embed videos, maps or other content from third parties in future, we will tell you here and, where they set optional cookies, ask before they load.
5. Your choices
When you first visit, a banner lets you Accept All, Reject Optional or Manage Choices. Rejecting optional cookies is as easy as accepting them, and does not stop the site working. Optional technologies stay off until you allow them.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site, such as logging in or the application form, from working.
