Cookie and IP Tracking Techniques
Utilizing Cookies for Improved Site Functionality: Cookies are essential tools that store data on your device to enhance website responsiveness and user interaction. By
assigning a unique identifier to each visitor, we track user interactions in a non-intrusive way. Our site also respects your privacy by not accessing personal information unless
explicitly provided by you. Note that third-party advertisers might also use cookies to monitor interactions with their ads.
- 1 - Types of cookies used and purpose
Currently, there are four types of cookies that may be generated as you browse our site: session cookies, preference cookies, analytics cookies and third party cookies.
Session Cookies As you move through the site, various pieces of information need to be stored in order for the site to function properly. For example,
if you add a course to favourites, this course will be remembered so that you can access them later. If you log in, it will be remembered which account you logged in with.
This information is stored in a database and is referred to as a session. One cookie is set to keep track of which session you are using. Old session data is automatically deleted
from the database multiple times a day, so this information is not stored long-term. In addition to the session cookie, a cookie is set to check if cookies can be set on your
computer. This is done for diagnostic purposes when you use forms on the website. This information is used to help solve any problems you may have encountered. How do
I control session cookies? You can use your browser settings to control whether or not the site sets session cookies. More information on your browser settings is
provided at the bottom of this page. Please be aware that cookies are critical to the working of the site. If you choose to disable cookies from this site the functionality
of the site will be greatly reduced. Preference Cookies Currently a preference cookie is set when you click OK on the cookies acceptance banner
displayed on the site. How do I control preference cookies? These cookies are set as a direct result of your choice, and function solely as
indicators of what that choice was. It is not believed to pose any risk to your privacy. However, you can always use your browser settings to control whether or not our site can set
cookies on your computer. Please be aware that cookies are critical to the working of the site. If you choose to disable cookies from this site the functionality of the site
will be greatly reduced. Analytics Cookies In order to monitor how this and related websites are performing, data is collected about page
visits. This information is completely anonymous — it cannot be determined who it came from. When this data is used, numbers of visitors are analysed overall rather than individual
visits. Analytics information is used in reports and to improve the website. For example, analytics data has been used to add, remove or change features of the site based on
how popular they are with users.
- 2 - Application of Advanced Analytics Technologies
Our web pages feature 'social share buttons' to enable content sharing across social media platforms. These buttons are linked through scripts from third-party sites, which may
collect information about your web activity. Clicking these buttons may allow third-party sites to track your interactions.
- 3 - Consequences of Adjusting Cookie Settings in Browsers
You can change your consent settings for non-essential cookies at any time through your privacy settings. This allows you to manage how we use cookies beyond those that are
strictly necessary for the website's operation.
