1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember certain information — such as your preferences or session state — across page loads or return visits.
Cookies do not contain personal information by themselves, though some may be linked to data you have provided. Most browsers accept cookies by default, though you can change this in your settings (see section 6 below).
We use cookies to make our platform function correctly, to understand how visitors use our site, and to improve the overall experience for learners and prospective students.
