Cookies and Their Functionality on Our Site
Cookies and System Functionality: We utilize cookies to remember who you are and enhance your interaction with our System. These cookies store information related to your usage, like
your device’s IP address and browser type, and if you arrived via a third-party site, the URL of that site. For registered users, cookies facilitate seamless verification and
interaction with our services.
1) Clarification of Cookie Types Used
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) Extended Online Monitoring Capabilities
Marketing and Advertising with Pixel Tags
Pixel tags, also known as clear GIFs, are employed in conjunction with third parties to facilitate certain marketing functions. The data collected through these tags is used to optimize
the targeting and delivery of online advertisements.
3) Techniques to Manage and Block Cookies
You can configure your device to accept all cookies, to notify you when a cookie is issued, or not to accept any cookies. Refusing cookies may limit your ability to fully enjoy our
website's features and prevent personalized experiences. As browser settings vary, consult the 'Help' menu of your browser to learn how to modify your cookie preferences.
