This Cookies Policy explains how NovaLearn ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at NovaLearn.com ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, NovaLearn) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described in more detail in the table below:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Provider | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session ID | Used to maintain user sessions across page requests. | NovaLearn | Session |
| Analytics Cookies | Used to collect information about how visitors use our Website. We use the information to compile reports and to help us improve the Website. These cookies collect information in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors to the Website, where visitors have come to the Website from, and the pages they visited. | Google Analytics | 2 years |
| Preferences Cookies | These cookies allow our Website to remember information that changes the way the Website behaves or looks, like your preferred language or the region you are in. | NovaLearn | 1 year |
| Marketing Cookies | These cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third-party advertisers. | Advertising Partners | Varies |
| Essential Cookies | These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our Website and to enable you to use some of its features. Without these cookies, services that you have asked for, like secure login areas, cannot be provided. | NovaLearn | Session |
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by clicking on the appropriate opt-out links provided in the cookie table above. You can also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.
In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt-out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit: http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com.
The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described in the table above. For instance, we use Google Analytics to understand how our site is used to improve the user experience.
"Understanding our users' needs is at the heart of NovaLearn's mission. Cookies help us tailor the learning experience to each individual, making education more accessible and effective," says Dr. Amelia Stone, Chief Technology Officer at NovaLearn.
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an e-mail including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns.
In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and therefore declining cookies will impair their functioning.
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookies Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the top of this Cookies Policy indicates when it was last updated.
