Course lessons and articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos hosted on Bunny.net, or posts from Instagram/TikTok). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.
