4. Consent and settings
Users may accept, reject, or configure optional cookies through the mechanisms provided by MSK, in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where permitted by law.
Analytics, advertising, and optional personalization cookies are subject to applicable legal bases and authorizations. Rejecting optional cookies will not prevent course purchases or access to essential platform features, although it may limit certain additional functionality.
Users may change or withdraw their preferences at any time through the mechanisms available on the website.
5. Data processing and profiling
Where information collected through cookies can directly or indirectly identify an individual, it will be processed in accordance with MSK’s Personal Data Protection and Processing Policy.
Data may be used to analyze service performance, compile statistics, and, where a valid legal basis exists, personalize educational content and commercial communications.
Profiling for optional educational personalization or advertising will be carried out subject to applicable consents and safeguards.
MSK may use aggregated or effectively anonymized information to conduct statistical analyses and improve its services, seeking to prevent users from being reasonably identifiable.
6. Retention and international transfers
Personal data obtained through cookies will be retained only for as long as necessary for the purposes justifying its processing.
The general maximum retention period of ten (10) years set out in MSK’s Personal Data Protection and Processing Policy applies, or a shorter period where local law so requires or the data is no longer necessary.
This limit does not mean cookies will remain installed for ten years: each cookie’s lifetime depends on its purpose and technical configuration.
MSK’s primary server infrastructure is hosted in Brazil. Certain analytics and advertising providers may process information from other jurisdictions, subject to legally required safeguards for international transfers of personal data.
