Cookie Policy
Last updated: 8 July 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar tracking technologies are used on bodyimagingcourse.com (“the Site”), what data they collect, and how you can manage your preferences. This policy complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Italian Privacy Code (D.Lgs. 196/2003 as amended).
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device when you visit. Cookies can be “first-party” (set by this Site) or “third-party” (set by services we use, such as Appwrite for authentication or Stripe for payments).
