ABOUT COOKIES

Cookies and related technologies (herein “Cookies”) are small text files that a
website saves on your computer when you visit the site. Cookies the University
sets are called first-party Cookies. The data collected might be about you, your
device, your preferences, or your login information. This data is mostly used to
make the website work as expected so, for example, you don’t have to keep
re-entering your credentials whenever you come back to the site. Cookies set by
third parties are called third-party Cookies. We use third-party Cookies for
analyzing website traffic and our advertising and marketing efforts. We have
divided the Cookies we use into the following categories: Strictly Necessary,

COOKIE CATEGORIES

STRICTLY NECESSARY COOKIES

Always Active

Strictly Necessary Cookies are first-party Cookies that are necessary for the
website to function. They can be either permanent or temporary and are usually
only set in response to actions made directly by you that amount to a request
for services, such as logging in or filling in forms. For example, we use
Strictly Necessary Cookies to handle user registration and login. Some sites
require the use of Strictly Necessary Cookies to access the site, such as
University websites requiring University credentialed authentication. If you set
your browser to block or delete Cookies, you may not be able to access the site
or some parts of the site will not work.

PERFORMANCE COOKIES

Always Active

Performance Cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can
measure and improve the performance and effectiveness of University websites.
Performance Cookies also help the University understand which webpages are the
most and least popular, see how visitors move around the site, and determine
whether webpage content is relevant to user interests. Performance Cookies may
be first-party or third party, permanent or temporary, and do not personally
identify individual visitors. Some Performance Cookies are “analytics” Cookies
(e.g., Google Analytics), using third-party software tools, which help us
understand more about how our websites are used and where visitors come from by
collecting and aggregating anonymous information on the pages visited and any
advertisements viewed. The University does not take responsibility for the
collection, use, and management of data by any third-party software tool
provider unless required to do so by applicable law. If you set your browser to
block or delete Cookies, some site services and functionalities may not work.

FUNCTIONAL COOKIES

Always Active

Functional Cookies enhance the performance and functionality of our websites but
are non-essential to their use. These permanent Cookies allow our website to
remember information from your previous visits, such as details you submitted
before or your previously stated preferences. These Cookies may also be used to
provide services you request, such as newsletters or publications. They may be
first- or third-party Cookies that enable services we have added to our
webpages. If you set your browser to block or delete Cookies, some or all of
these services may not function properly.

TARGETING COOKIES

Always Active

Targeting Cookies are used to deliver content tailored to your interests and may
be temporary or permanent. They may also be first-party or third-party Cookies.
Targeting Cookies are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device;
they do not store information such as your name. The University may use
targeting Cookies prepared by the University, its third-party contractors, or
advertising partners to provide you with personalized University display
advertising and promotional material about the University and its programs. The
University may also allow third parties to place Cookies on your device that
collect and use anonymous information about your visits to, and interactions
with, our websites to personalize advertisements and promotional materials for
University goods and services. Targeting Cookies may be used by our third-party
contractors or our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and
show you relevant advertisements on other sites. We may share information about
your use of our site with our social media, advertising, and analytics partners
who may combine it with other information that you have provided to them or that
they have collected from your use of their services. If you set your browser to
block or delete Cookies, you will still see advertisements, but they will be
less targeted to your interests.
