Implementing Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies to help effectively offer our System. A cookie is a small piece of information which is sent to your computer’s hard drive by the web server so that the System
can remember who you are. This information may include information relating to your use of our System, information about your computer such as the computer’s IP address and browser type,
demographic information and, if you arrived at our System via a link from a third-party site, the URL of the linking page. If you are a registered user, this may include your login
information for verification purposes.
Cookies: Their Role and Purpose on Our Site
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.
Navigating Third-Party External Sites
Social Media Sharing Cookies: Our website includes buttons for easy sharing on social networks, allowing you to "like" or share our content. The privacy impact
will depend on the privacy settings you have chosen on these platforms.
Obstacles with Lack of Cookies
You can manage and control cookie settings through your internet browser. Choosing not to accept certain cookies may limit functionality or prevent our website from functioning
correctly. Note that strictly necessary cookies are always active as they are essential for website operation. Your browser can be set to block or alert you about these cookies, but this
may affect the functionality of certain website parts.
Supplementary Information
Email Tracking and User Engagement Our emails may include a "web beacon pixel" that helps us identify if and when an email is opened and track
interactions such as link clicks within the email. This data helps us tailor our communication to better suit your interests. If you prefer not to have the pixel track your activity, you
can choose to view emails in plain text or disable images.
Changes to This Policy
As our digital landscape evolves, we occasionally adjust this Policy to reflect the integration of new technologies and improvements in our services. We recommend that you
check this document frequently to understand our updated practices.
