1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — for example, whether you have previously accepted the cookie notice, or which pages you have viewed.

Cookies are used by almost all websites. They are not harmful to your device and do not contain personal information in their raw form, though some can be used to identify you indirectly when combined with other data.

2. Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies (always active)

These cookies are required for the website to work correctly. Without them, certain features — such as remembering your cookie preferences — would not function. They cannot be disabled.

  • Cookie consent preference (localStorage — session and beyond)
  • Basic session management for the student platform

Analytics Cookies (optional)

These help us understand how visitors use the website — which pages are viewed most, how long people spend on each section, and where visitors arrive from. This information is aggregated and does not identify individuals.

  • Google Analytics (anonymised page-view data)
  • Typical duration: up to 2 years

Marketing Cookies (optional)

These track visits across websites to enable interest-based advertising. We use these only if you consent. They may be set by third-party advertising services.

  • Advertising network tracking pixels
  • Typical duration: 30 days to 2 years depending on service

Preference Cookies (optional)

These remember choices you have made on the website — such as your preferred region or display settings — to personalise your experience on return visits.

  • User interface preference settings
  • Typical duration: up to 1 year
