Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 May 2025
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Pythoria uses them on our website at pythoriagat.biz, and what choices you have. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember information about your visit — for example, your preferences or whether you have seen a particular notice. Cookies do not give us access to your device, and they cannot run programs or carry viruses.
Similar technologies like local storage and session storage work in a comparable way. Where we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we mean all of these technologies.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
Essential cookies
These are necessary for the site to function. They include cookies that remember your cookie consent decision (stored in your browser's local storage). Without these, certain basic site features would not work correctly. These do not require your consent.
Analytics cookies
We use analytics tools to understand how visitors use our site — which pages are visited, how long people stay, and where they come from. This helps us improve the site and course content. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. These cookies are only set if you accept.
Marketing and tracking cookies
We may use tracking pixels or similar tools (such as Google Ads conversion tracking or Meta Pixel) to understand whether our advertising is reaching people who go on to enquire about our courses. This data is used only for measuring campaign effectiveness. These cookies are only set if you accept.
3. Cookies We Use
The table below lists the main cookies and storage items used on our site:
| Name / Key | Type | Purpose | Duration |

Analytics and marketing cookies are only loaded if you have accepted cookies. Essential cookies are always present.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services we use, including Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta, and Microsoft Advertising. These parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which govern how they use data collected through their cookies. We encourage you to review their policies if you have questions about how those services handle data.
5. Your Choices
When you first visit our site, we show a cookie notice at the bottom of the page. You can accept or decline non-essential cookies at that point.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies — look for "privacy" or "cookies" in your browser's settings menu. Note that blocking all cookies may affect how some parts of the site work.
Useful opt-out tools from our analytics and marketing providers:
- Google Analytics opt-out: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
- Google Ads settings: adssettings.google.com
- Meta ad preferences: available in your Facebook or Instagram account settings
