Learn Skills LRS uses no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, and our pages load nothing from other companies. We only use what the service needs to work, so we don’t need to ask for consent. This is the complete list.

Other services
- Payments: when you pay or manage billing you go to pages run by Stripe, which set their own cookies to process the payment and prevent fraud. See Stripe’s cookie policy.
- Courses: courses are made by the organisations that provide them, and some (for example to remember where you were) store data in your browser on the course address, c.tincan.ie. That is up to the course; ask its provider.
Removing cookies
You can delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. If you do, you will need to sign in again, and learners will be asked for their name and email again.
