# Cookie Policy

Version 1.0 · Effective 2026-10-11

SkillBraid, run by Dr. Mustafa R. Kadhim (info@skillbraid.com), uses as few cookies as possible.

## What we use

| Cookie / technology | Purpose | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Session cookie | Keeps you signed in after "Continue with GitHub" and protects your session | Essential |
| Cloudflare Turnstile | Checks that a visitor is not a bot, on sign-in and suspicious traffic | Essential for security |

Essential cookies are needed to provide the service you asked for or to keep it secure. Under UK PECR and the EU ePrivacy rules they do not need consent, so we do not show a cookie banner.

## What we do not use

- No advertising cookies.
- No cross-site tracking.
- No third-party analytics or social media trackers.

## Managing cookies

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block the session cookie you will not be able to sign in, and Turnstile may fail to load.

## Changes

If we ever add non-essential cookies we will ask for your consent first and update this policy with 30 days' notice. Questions: info@skillbraid.com. See the Privacy Policy for how we handle personal data.
