Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how the Upcycling Patterns Erasmus+ KA210-SCH project website uses cookies, local storage, and similar browser-based technologies.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites may store on your device through your browser. They can help websites remember preferences, keep sessions active, or understand how a website is used.

3. Essential Storage
These preferences are stored locally in your browser. They are used only to make the website easier to use and do not identify you personally.

If videos or other embedded content are added in the future, those third-party platforms may use their own cookies or tracking technologies. Their cookie practices are controlled by the relevant third-party provider, not by this website.
