They’re used for many things, such as remembering whether you’ve visited the site before, who you are, what language preference you have, what question you are on and to help us work out how many new visitors we get each month. They contain information about the use of your computer but don’t include personal information about you (they don’t store your name, for instance).

This Cookie Policy applies regardless of whatever user device you are using to access this website and mobile versions of this website (this “Site”) (including desktop, laptop or mobile web browser, mobile phone, tablets, or via an app and any other technology whether now known or developed in the future) and explains how we use cookies on the Site and how you can control the cookies that may be used on the Site.

3. Browser Analytics Cookies
In order to provide an optimal learning experience for our users, it helps us to know what browsers, operating systems, network connections and screen resolutions are being used to access the Site. We use several analytic programs to help us understand the technology choices of our users. The information collected is grouped with the information from everyone else’s cookies.

Analytics/Log Files

As is true of most web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.

We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information.
