Cookie Overview
Information Gathering and Usage: We collect data through cookies to analyze user trends and optimize site usage, aiming to enhance user experiences. Cookies help maintain your login and
preferences over secure areas of our site. You may disable cookies, but this may affect website functionality. We use third-party tools to gather metrics, including visitor locations
and site navigation paths, to tailor and enhance communications and outreach efforts. This data is processed in aggregate and remains non-personally identifiable.
Cookies: Their Types and Our Reasons for Using Them
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.

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.
Storage and disclosure of personal information
Some cookies may be placed on your device by third-party service providers that we use on our website, such as analytics providers and advertisers. These cookies are subject to the
respective privacy policies of these third parties.
Opting Out
You can set your browser to refuse cookies or warn you before accepting them. However, some parts of this website may not function properly without accepting cookies.
Additional Guidelines
Usage Data refers to data collected automatically either generated by the use of the Service or from the Service infrastructure itself (for example, the duration of a page visit).
We may also gather information on how the Service is accessed and used, known as "Usage Data." This can include details such as your computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser
type, browser version, the pages of our Service visited, the time and date of visits, duration spent on pages, interactions with ads, unique device identifiers, and other diagnostic
data. From an IP address, we may determine a user’s Internet Service Provider and approximate geographic location.
Amendments to Cookie Usage
We reserve the right to update this Cookies Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We urge you to review this
policy from time to time for any updates.
