How We Apply Cookies

Cookie Consent and Management: Our website uses Cookie Consent technology to ensure we obtain your permission to store cookies on your browser, in compliance with data protection laws. A specific cookie is used to keep track of your consents, remaining on your browser until you decide to remove it or it expires.

Exploration of Cookies We Employ

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.

Use of Cookies by External Parties

Third-Party Advertisements and Cookie Tracking: The advertisements you see on our website may be served by third parties who use their own cookies to monitor how many times you have seen an advertisement and to track your visits across different sites where their ads appear. This tracking, which is anonymous, aims to provide ads that are more relevant to your interests and to limit the frequency of the same ad. For instance, if you have recently searched for cars, you might see advertisements for car services on our site. We do not control these third-party cookies and cannot access the data they collect, but you can opt out of this type of tracking through online advertiser settings.

Variety of Web Behavior Monitoring Techniques
