Cookie Policy Overview

Details on Cookie Types: Cookies are small text files stored on your device that websites use to make user interactions more efficient. Our website utilizes both session cookies, which are temporary and disappear after you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. We provide details on both types and their role in enhancing your website experience.

Cookies: Definitions, Types, and Purpose

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.
