Cookie Notice

This Cookie Notice explains how Career Buddy Trust trading as Espen AI uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the Espen website and applications, and the choices you have over them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember information about your visit (such as preferences and session state) so you have a smoother experience the next time you arrive.

2. How We Use Cookies

Espen uses cookies for three purposes:

• Strictly necessary: session cookies that keep you logged in to the portal and protect your session from interference. These cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
• Analytics: we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use our website, so we can improve it. These cookies collect aggregated, mostly anonymous information.
• Preferences: small client-side storage entries (for example, your last-selected school on the login chooser) so that visiting the site again feels familiar.

We do not currently deploy cookies for third-party advertising or cross-site tracking, and we do not sell your information.

3. Your Control Over Cookies

By using the Espen website you consent to our use of analytics cookies as described above. You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Removing or blocking analytics cookies will not stop you using the services, though some parts of the experience may be less personalised. Removing strictly-necessary session cookies will log you out of the portal.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Where third-party services we use (such as Google Analytics) set their own cookies, those cookies are governed by the providers' own policies. You can find their policies on their respective websites.

5. Changes to This Notice

We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time as our use of cookies evolves or as required by law. The updated notice will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this notice periodically.

6. Contact Us

For any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us at hello@espen.ai.
