Cookies and Their Functionality on Our Site
This Cookie and Other Tracking Technologies Information statement describes the technologies that we uses to recognize you when you visit our websites (collectively, the “Sites”).
These technologies automatically collect information such as your browser type and IP address, as well as how you navigate and interact with our websites. Information collected through these means may be
linked to your personally-identifiable information to enhance your online experience, improve performance and usage of systems and help monitor and prevent unauthorized usage and escalation of privileges.
Cookies: How and Why We Use 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.
Engagement with Non-Affiliated Linked Websites

Our website uses advertising technologies to target previous visitors on third-party websites. This is done through cookies that track past activity on our site, such as submissions through our contact form. This targeting might occur, for example, on a search engine results page. Third-party vendors manage these cookies, and any data collected is handled according to our privacy statement.
