What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They help sites remember your preferences and understand how you interact with content. Think of them as digital bookmarks that make your browsing experience smoother.

These files contain a unique identifier but don't typically store personal information like your name or email address unless you've deliberately provided it elsewhere on the site.

Types of Tracking We Use

How We Use These Technologies

When you arrive at avirelonquex.com, our systems create a temporary record of your visit. This helps us do several things:

• Maintain secure login sessions for users who create accounts
• Remember which learning materials you've viewed or downloaded
• Understand which educational topics generate the most interest
• Improve navigation based on how people actually use the site
• Prevent duplicate form submissions that cause technical problems
• Measure the effectiveness of our outreach efforts

For example, if you're researching our autumn 2025 financial discipline programme and leave the site to check your calendar, cookies help us remember where you were so you don't need to start your search again.

Browser-Specific Controls

Each browser handles cookie management differently. Here's where to find these settings in popular browsers:

Third-Party Services

We work with external partners who help us analyse site performance and reach potential students. These services may place their own cookies on your device:

Analytics Providers

We use analytics platforms to understand visitor behaviour. These tools show us aggregate data about page views, time spent on content, and navigation patterns. The information is anonymous and helps us create better educational resources.

Advertising Networks

When we advertise our programmes on other websites, marketing cookies help us understand whether those campaigns are reaching the right audience. These cookies might track which sites you visit after leaving avirelonquex.com.

You can opt out of personalised advertising through industry tools like the Digital Advertising Alliance's consumer choice page or by adjusting your device settings.

Data Retention

Different types of cookies stay active for different periods:

• Session cookies disappear when you close your browser
• Preference cookies typically last between 6 and 12 months
• Analytics cookies may remain active for up to 24 months
• Marketing cookies generally expire after 13 months

You can clear all cookies at any time through your browser settings. This resets your preferences and requires you to log in again if you have an account.

Your Rights and Choices

Under UK data protection laws, you have specific rights regarding how websites use tracking technologies:

• You can withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time
• You can request information about what data we've collected
• You can ask us to delete tracking data associated with your visits
• You can object to certain types of data processing

These rights apply to residents of the United Kingdom under GDPR regulations. If you have questions about exercising these rights, our team can walk you through the process.

Changes to This Policy

We update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in technology or regulations. When we make significant revisions, we'll post a notice on avirelonquex.com for at least 30 days.

The "last updated" date at the top of this page shows when we most recently made changes. Checking back periodically helps you stay informed about our practices.
