Cookies Policy

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit. They allow the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits and remember certain information — such as your preferences or whether you are logged in.

Similar technologies include web beacons (tiny images embedded in pages or emails), local storage, and session storage. We refer to all of these collectively as "cookies" in this policy.

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They enable core features like navigation, secure areas, and your student account session. Without these cookies the site cannot work properly. These cookies cannot be disabled.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Data collected includes pages visited, time spent on each page, traffic source, and broad geographic location (country / city level). No personally identifying information is collected via analytics cookies.

Preference cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made — such as your selected course department or whether you have dismissed a notice — so we can personalise your experience on return visits.

We use cookies to:

• Keep you signed in to your student account during a session
• Remember your course or department preferences
• Measure and analyse site traffic to improve our pages and content
• Understand which programmes, pages, or blog posts generate the most interest
• Detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive activity

We do not use cookies to deliver targeted or behavioural advertising, and we do not share cookie data with advertising networks.

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings — you can block cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Instructions vary by browser:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Please note that disabling essential cookies will affect the functionality of the website and may prevent you from accessing your student account or completing a purchase.

Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services we use. These include:

• Google Analytics — for website traffic analysis. Google's privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Payment processors — when you proceed to checkout, our payment gateway may set cookies on its own domain to facilitate a secure transaction. Those cookies are governed by the payment processor's own policy.

We do not control third-party cookies and are not responsible for the content of third-party privacy policies.

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time as our use of cookies evolves or as regulations change. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
