Purpose and Use of Cookies: Our website uses cookies to enhance functionality and user experience. They help us understand user behavior, which in turn allows us to tailor content and improve site navigation. We emphasize that our cookies are intended to make our site more user-friendly and are primarily used for analytical purposes without storing personal information.

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.
