Google Consent Mode v2 Implementation
valthorinquezo implements Google's Consent Mode v2 framework to balance privacy protection with measurement capabilities. This system sends consent signals to Google services, ensuring advertising and analytics respect your preferences while maintaining aggregate insights for improving our psychology education programs.
When you opt out of marketing or analytics cookies, we send "denied" signals to Google services. This means no personal data collection occurs while still allowing us to measure basic website performance in a privacy-preserving way.

We review and update this cookie policy regularly to reflect changes in technology, regulations, and our educational services. When significant changes occur, we'll notify users through website notices or email communications.
The current policy version is dated March 2025. We encourage reviewing this page periodically, especially before enrolling in our comprehensive psychology programs launching in late 2025.
