This Privacy Policy explains how BestAICertifications.com ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you visit our website. We aim to collect as little personal data as possible.
Information we collect
We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to read our content. We may collect limited information automatically, including:
- Usage data — such as pages visited, time on site, referring website, browser type, and approximate location, collected through analytics tools.
- Cookies and similar technologies — small files used to understand how visitors use the site and to support affiliate tracking (see below).
- Information you voluntarily provide — for example, if you subscribe to our newsletter, email us, or use a contact form.
How we use information
- To understand which content is useful and improve the site.
- To operate, maintain, and secure the website.
- To respond to messages you send us and, if you subscribe, to send you our newsletter.
- To measure the performance of affiliate links.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate traffic patterns — which pages people read, how they arrive, and which of our recommendations they follow. It sets cookies in your browser and sends usage data to Google. We look at it in aggregate and we do not use it to identify you personally, but it is Google's product and Google receives the data. Google describes what it collects and how it is used in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
This site does not currently show a cookie-consent prompt, so Google Analytics sets its cookies when a page loads, for every visitor. You can block or delete them in your browser settings, or install Google’s Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Advertising
This site shows no advertising and runs no ad network’s code. Until 8 October 2026 the Google AdSense script sat on every page so the account could be reviewed; display ads were never switched on, and on that date we removed the script. No advertising cookies are set by this site.
Affiliate links and cookies
Some links on our site are affiliate links. When you click one, the destination provider or its affiliate network may set a cookie to track that the referral came from us, so we can be credited for any resulting purchase. This does not change the price you pay. See our affiliate disclosure for more.
The AI Certification Advisor
The chat advisor on this site — the floating “Help me choose” button, and the full-page AI Certification Picker — works entirely in your browser. It matches what you type against a fixed set of situations in a script loaded from this site, and what you type is not sent to OpenAI, to us, or to any other server. It never asks for your name, your email or any account details, and you do not need to identify yourself to use it.
We do not store your conversations, because they never leave your device. Until 12 September 2026 the advisor sent messages to OpenAI to generate its answers; that has been switched off. As with the rest of the site, Google Analytics records that the advisor was opened and which course was recommended — the course identifier and how many turns the conversation took, never the text of what you wrote.
Google preferred-sources button
The footer of every page carries Google’s button for adding this site as a preferred source in Google search results. When the footer comes within about a screen of view, your browser loads Google’s publisher script from news.google.com to draw the button, and clicking it opens Google’s own flow in a frame served by Google. Loading that script sends Google the technical data any request to a website carries, such as your IP address and browser type, and Google may set or read its own cookies there. It is Google’s product, so Google’s practices apply; they are described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Hosting and forms
This site is hosted by Netlify, which processes the technical data any web host necessarily sees, such as your IP address and browser type, in order to serve the pages to you. The contact form and the newsletter sign-up use Netlify’s form handling, so what you submit is stored on Netlify and emailed to us. Netlify’s practices are set out in their privacy policy. We use what you send only to reply to you or, for the newsletter, to send you the newsletter; we do not sell it or pass it to anyone else.
Third-party websites
Our site links to third-party websites (such as course providers). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, such as the right to access, correct, or delete it, or to object to certain processing. You can also control cookies through your browser settings. To exercise any rights, please contact us.
Children's privacy
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
