Welcome to the cookie policy for BDEC eLearning, which explains how we use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website or access Aviator training content. This document is designed to give you clear, practical information so you can understand what data is collected, how it is used, and what choices you have while using our learning services. By continuing to browse our pages, use your account, or interact with specific course areas such as Aviator, you acknowledge that cookies may be stored in your browser as described below. We encourage you to read this policy carefully so you know how cookies support core features such as log-in, security checks, and personalized learning paths. If anything in this cookie policy is unclear or you still have questions about how cookies relate to Aviator, you can always reach out using the contact details provided later on this page.
Summary of the purpose of the cookie policy
The purpose of this cookie policy is to explain in plain language what cookies are and how they work when you use our website, including any Aviator learning modules or informational pages. We want you to understand which types of data may be stored on your device, how long that data stays there, and how it helps us run key features of the site. Some cookies are essential for basic functions such as remembering that you are logged in or keeping a simple session active while you move between Aviator lessons and other content. Other cookies help us see how people use our pages so we can improve layout, fix technical issues, and make the overall learning experience more intuitive. This policy also gives you a compact overview of when we use our own cookies and when third-party tools might place cookies on your device through embedded services. By keeping this information in one place, we aim to make it easier for you to review your cookie choices whenever you use the site.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that your browser saves on your device when you visit a website or open specific areas such as our Aviator course pages. They usually contain a unique identifier, basic technical information, and sometimes preferences that help the site remember who you are between visits. For example, a cookie can keep track of your preferred language, remember your progress in a module like Aviator, or store whether you have dismissed a banner. Cookies are not programs, and they do not run code or access files on your computer in the way that software does. Instead, they act like short notes that your browser shares with the site, helping both regular learning content and Aviator-related tools behave in a predictable way. Common types of cookies used on learning platforms include the following:
-
Session cookies, which exist only while your browser is open and are removed once you close it.
-
Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period so that preferences such as language or layout are remembered.
-
First-party cookies, which are set directly by the website you are visiting.
-
Third-party cookies, which are set by external services integrated into the site, such as analytics or media players.
On our website we mainly use cookies to keep the learning environment stable so you can move smoothly between courses, quizzes, and Aviator-related materials without having to log in repeatedly. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while others remain for a defined period so that your preferences are still there when you return. We categorise cookies based on how they behave and what they store, which helps you see at a glance which ones are essential and which are optional. Where optional cookies are involved, especially those that might measure how Aviator pages perform or how often they are visited, we apply consent controls that let you decide whether to allow them. All the information stored in cookies is limited to what is needed for the stated purposes and is not used to build detailed personal profiles. If we ever add new tools or learning formats involving Aviator, the categories and descriptions in this cookie policy will be updated so they remain accurate.
How and why cookies are used
We use cookies for several practical reasons that relate to how you sign in, navigate the site, and experience specific content such as Aviator learning modules. Some cookies are strictly necessary for security, for example to confirm that it is really you making requests from your account and not someone trying to misuse an open session. Other cookies remember small details, like which page you visited last or which version of the Aviator interface you prefer if there are different layouts available. Analytics cookies, where enabled, help us see general patterns such as which pages are popular and where users might be getting stuck or encountering errors. By understanding these patterns, we can refine our teaching materials, including any Aviator-focused content, so that the platform grows more useful over time. In practical terms, we may use cookies for purposes such as:
-
Remembering that you are logged in so you do not need to sign in again on every page.
-
Saving preferences like language, time zone, or display options to make the site more comfortable to use.
-
Measuring basic statistics, such as which pages are most frequently visited and how visitors move around the site.
Most cookies that we set ourselves relate directly to how the learning platform functions day to day, including log-in flows and the way course pages such as Aviator load on your device. Third-party cookies may also be present where we embed external tools, such as video hosting platforms, payment providers, or analytics services that help us understand user behaviour at a general level. When these tools are active, they may receive basic technical information from your browser, for example your IP address, device type, and the pages you visit. We configure these services to use the minimum amount of data needed, and where possible we aggregate or anonymise the information so it cannot easily be linked back to you personally. If any of these tools are used on Aviator-focused pages, they are subject to the same rules that apply elsewhere on the site, including consent choices and retention limits. You can adjust your browser settings at any time to manage or block cookies, though doing so may affect how well certain features, such as progress tracking in Aviator, operate. Whatever choices you make, we aim to ensure that the core educational functions remain as accessible as possible within the limits of your cookie preferences.
Your Rights
You have the right to decide how cookies are used on your device, including those connected to Aviator content and other learning areas on our website. Depending on your browser and local laws, you can usually refuse non-essential cookies, delete cookies that have already been set, or configure your settings to ask for permission each time. Where we rely on consent for analytics or similar cookies, you can withdraw that consent at any moment, and doing so will stop further tracking in areas such as Aviator statistics dashboards. You may also have rights to request information about how we use data linked to cookies, including access, correction, or deletion of personal information where applicable. If you believe cookies are being used in a way that does not match this policy, you can contact us directly so we can review the situation and, if needed, adjust our practices. In addition, local data protection laws may give you the option to raise concerns with a supervisory authority, and we recommend checking the guidance available in your country or region.
Contact details
If you have any questions about this cookie policy or how cookies interact with Aviator features on our site, you can reach our team using the contact details below. The primary way to contact us is by email at contact@bdec-e-learning.com, where messages are monitored regularly during the working week. When you write to us, please include enough information about your browser, device, and the relevant Aviator or course page so that we can investigate your request efficiently. We will use the information you provide only to answer your question or resolve the issue raised, and we may ask for clarification if something about your cookie settings is unclear. For more complex matters, such as detailed data protection queries that go beyond Aviator or cookies, we may refer your request to the appropriate member of our team for a more thorough response.
Effective Date
This cookie policy is effective from 17 December 2025 and applies to all use of our website, including any Aviator learning or informational pages, from that date onward. When we make significant changes to the way cookies are used, we will update this section to reflect the new effective date so that you can see at a glance when the policy was last revised. Minor adjustments, such as clarifying wording or adding examples related to Aviator, may be introduced without changing the date if the underlying practices stay the same. Each time you visit the site, we recommend taking a quick look at this section so you know whether anything important has changed since your last visit. If we introduce new tools or features that rely heavily on cookies, especially in areas involving Aviator, we will describe those updates in this policy as clearly as we can.
