Effective Date: July 2, 2026 Last Updated: July 2, 2026
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Cogniminds 360 (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at https://cogniminds360.com/ (the “Site”). This policy describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices available to you regarding their use.
By continuing to browse or use our Site, you agree to our use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy, unless you have adjusted your preferences through our cookie consent tool or your browser settings.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work properly, improve the user experience, and provide useful information to website owners.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Cogniminds 360) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable external features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as analytics, advertising, course platform tracking, and live chat support.
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, push notification tokens, and local storage objects to collect information about how you interact with our Site.
3. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several reasons. Some are required for technical reasons in order for our Site to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Others enable us to track and understand how visitors explore our course catalog, schedule pages, learning product listings, HR services pages, and student registration flows, so we can improve content and the overall learner experience.
Given that our Site serves students and professionals across the UAE — enrolling in live cohorts for CISSP, AWS, CompTIA, ISACA, Cisco, and other certification programs — we also use cookies to maintain secure student dashboard sessions, remember course registration progress, and support push notification preferences. Third parties may also serve cookies through our Site for analytics, advertising, and communication purposes.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Site to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as logging into the student or instructor dashboard, submitting a course registration or enrollment form, completing a payment, or setting your cookie preferences. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but parts of the Site, including student dashboards, course access, and registration forms, may not function as intended.
Examples of use: session management, secure login for student and instructor portals, load balancing, security and fraud prevention, shopping cart/enrollment persistence, and push notification preference storage.
4.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve Site performance. They help us understand which course pages (AWS, CISSP, CompTIA, CISA, CRISC, CCNA, and others), schedule listings, learning product pages, and HR service sections attract the most engagement, and how visitors navigate between them. This insight helps us improve content quality and the overall learner journey.
Examples of providers: Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and similar analytics services.
4.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization on our Site. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have embedded, such as course booking and scheduling tools (Amelia Booking), live chat widgets, video players, and quiz or assessment modules. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function correctly, which may impact the course enrollment and learning experience.
Examples of use: remembering your selected course category, preferred learning format (live online, 1-on-1, instructor-led, self-paced), language preference, and pre-filled registration form fields.
4.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be set through our Site by our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and display relevant advertisements about Cogniminds 360 certification programs on other websites you visit. They do not directly store personal information but work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
Examples of providers: Google Ads, Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, YouTube (Google), and similar advertising networks.
4.5 Social Media Cookies
These cookies are set by social media platforms we have integrated into our Site, including Facebook, X (Twitter), and YouTube, enabling you to share our courses and content with your network. They may track your browser activity across other websites and build a profile of your interests, which can affect the ads and content you see on those platforms.
4.6 Push Notification Cookies
Our Site may request your permission to send browser push notifications about new cohort openings, upcoming live sessions, free security awareness workshops, and promotional offers. If you accept, a cookie or token is stored to manage your notification preferences. You can withdraw this consent at any time through your browser’s notification settings.

8. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Because there is not yet a universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals, our Site does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update this policy accordingly.
9. Cookies and Children
Our courses and services are intended for working professionals and adult learners in the UAE. Our Site is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly use cookies to collect information from children. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information through our Site, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps.
10. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, applicable law, our business operations, or for other legitimate reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
