WHAT IS A COOKIE?
A cookie is a text file that contains small
amounts of information that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device
when you visit a web site. A cookie is then sent back to the originating web
site on each subsequent visit or to another web site that recognizes that
cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a web site to recognize a user’s
device. You can find more information about cookies at: www.allaboutcookies.org.
COOKIES ON THIS SITE
On the Site, cookies do several different
jobs. They let you navigate between pages efficiently, remember your
preferences, and generally improve your experience on the Site. They can also
help to ensure that advertisements that you see online are more relevant to you
and your interests.
The cookies used on this Site can be
categorized in four ways: (1) cookies that are strictly necessary; (2) cookies
that assist with the performance of the Site; (3) cookies that record functionality
requests; and (4) targeting cookies. Each of these is further explained below.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential in order to
enable you to move around the Site and use its features, such as accessing
secure areas of the Site. Without these cookies, services that you have
requested, such as registering for a course online, cannot be provided. These
cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing
purposes. By using this Site, you agree that we may place these types of
cookies on your device.
Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how
you use this Site. For example, they may collect information on which pages you
visit most often or if you received an error message from one of the pages on
this Site. These cookies do not directly collect information that identifies
you. When you provide information that identifies yourself, we may use these
cookies to provide relevant information on the Site based on information that
you have provided and your activities on the Site. By using this Site, you
agree that we may place these types of cookies on your device.
Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow the Site to remember
the choices that you make, such as your user name, language preference, or the
region that you are in. The Site then uses that information to provide enhanced
features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes that you have made
to text size, font, and other parts of the Site that you can customize. While
the information collected by these cookies is anonymous, these cookies may be
able to identify you when combined with other data because they track certain
ISP information for your settings. They do not gather any information about you

Targeting Cookies
These cookies collect several pieces of
information about your browsing habits. They are usually placed by advertising
networks such as Google or Doubleclick. They remember that you have visited
this Site and share this information with other organizations, such as
advertisers. They do this in order to provide you with targeted advertisements
that are more relevant to you and your interests. Although these cookies can
track your visits to sites on the Internet, the cookies themselves do not
usually know who you are. Without these cookies, online advertisements that you
encounter will be less relevant to you and your interests. By using this Site,
you agree that we may place these types of cookies on your device.
