COOKIES
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. Explaining the Variety of Cookies 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.

3. Options for Managing and Blocking Cookies
