2. How We Use Cookies
Panya AI uses cookies for three purposes: to ensure the website functions correctly (essential), to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it (analytics), and to serve relevant information to people who have expressed interest in our courses (marketing).

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies may affect how the website functions. Useful guidance is available from:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies

For analytics opt-out, you may also install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Where we embed third-party content (such as a Google Maps iframe on the contact section of our homepage), the third-party provider may set their own cookies, subject to their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control these cookies. We recommend reviewing the cookie policies of Google and any other third parties whose content appears on our site.
6. Changes to This Policy
We will update this policy when we change the cookies we use. A revised date will be shown at the top of this page. Material changes will also be reflected in an updated cookie notice on the website.
