Details on Cookies
Our website utilizes Cookie Consent technology to obtain your consent for storing certain cookies in your browser or using specific technologies and to document this in compliance with data protection law.
Upon visiting our website, a cookie is stored in your browser to record the consents you've given or revoked.
Collected data will be retained until you request its deletion, delete the cookie yourself, or until the purpose for data storage is no longer applicable. Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected.
Providing your personal data is neither legally nor contractually required.
Rationale Behind Our Cookie Usage
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

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.
Third-Party Cookie Implementation
External Links and Privacy: Our website contains links to other websites as a convenience and resource. When you visit these third-party websites, their privacy policies and data usage practices apply.
We engage in advertising on third-party sites to reach previous visitors who have interacted with our site, such as through a contact form. These advertisements, which might appear on pages like Google search results, are tailored based on past visits, managed by third-party vendors using cookies. All data collected is managed according to our privacy policy.
