Application of Cookies and Tracking Solutions
Understanding Cookies and Tracking Technologies: This Cookie Notice details the cookies and related tracking technologies used across our websites and mobile apps. It explains how these
tools function, their importance, and how you can manage them.
What are cookies?
Cookies, along with other tracking technologies like beacons, scripts, and tags, are small text files stored on your device. They remember your interactions with our site and help
personalize your experience. On mobile, we use device IDs and Advertising IDs similarly to cookies, enhancing site usability and ad targeting.
Insights Into Our Use of Cookies
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.
Supplemental Tracking Methods
We also provide 'social buttons' for certain social media sites, allowing visitors to share or bookmark web pages. You can learn more about their privacy policies and how to opt-out of
their cookies on their respective websites.
Restrictions Without Cookies
Use our cookie management tool to adjust your settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality. To reject cookies, adjust your browser settings accordingly. We might
also ask you separately about your cookie preferences when you visit our site.
