Cookie and IP Tracking Techniques
System Optimization Through Cookies: Cookies are crucial for our system's operation; they remember information about your device and usage, enhancing your experience. Information such
as your computer's IP address, browser type, and demographic details are stored. This helps if you are a registered user or navigating from a third-party site. Cookies are fundamental
for verifying user identity and improving overall system interactions.
Identifying Cookies on Our Website
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.
