(1) What Cookies are Used and Why: A Detailed Explanation

We use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
  • Functional Cookies. These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
  • Targeting Cookies. These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
  • Performance Cookies. These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site.

Utilization of Cookies and Local Storage for Enhanced User Experience: Cookies and local storage are essential for the functionality our users value, such as accessing educational content or showing online friends. We also utilize these technologies to offer links to social networking sites, media add-ons, and video content, facilitating easy sharing across your preferred social networks. Occasionally, third parties may place cookies or local storage devices on your device through our site features. It's important to review the privacy policies of these third parties, as they are responsible for processing your data. Additionally, some third-party ad networks provide options to customize or opt out of targeted advertising based on your browsing behavior.

  • For apps, a clear and prominent link that is easily accessible inside your app settings or any privacy policy and from within any store or website where your app is distributed that links to a clear explanation (a) that third parties may collect or receive information from your app and other apps and use that information to provide measurement services and targeted ads and (b) how and where users can opt out of the collection and use of information for ad targeting.
