This cookie policy provides you with more information about cookies, what types of cookies we use, and how we use them.

Cookies
A cookie is a file designed to contain a small amount of user and website information stored on a user’s computer. The file interacts with the user and the website to provide a webpage tailored to the user through its awareness of information held within the file. Cookies also have the ability to carry all or parts of the information stored within the file to other websites that the user may visit or to third parties.
Types of Cookies
- Third-party cookies are placed by a domain other than that of the website the user is visiting.
- Session cookies are temporary, linking the actions of a user during any given browser session. When the browser is closed, the cookie is deleted.
- Permanent cookies, also known as persistent cookies, are stored for a specific period of time and activate each time the user visits the website that created the cookie.
Our Use of Cookies
We use third-party, session, and persistent cookies and similar technology to collect aggregate (non-personal) information about Sites usage by all of our visitors and to help us remember you and your preferences when you revisit the Sites. These cookies may stay on your browser into the future until they expire or you delete them. We also use technology to remember you the next time you log in. Some of these cookies are erased when you close your browser window and some persist for a period of time. Further general information about cookies and how they work is available at www.allaboutcookies.org.
We may allow selected third parties to place cookies through the Sites to provide us with better insights into the use of the Sites or user demographics or to provide relevant advertising to you. These third parties may collect information about a user’s online activities over time and across different websites when he or she uses our Sites.

| These cookies allow our Sites to remember information that changes the way the site behaves or looks for you, such as your preferred language or the region you are in. For instance, by remembering your region, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news. These cookies can also assist you in changing text size, font, and other parts of web pages that you can personalize.

Some of these cookies may collect the request made by your browser to the server hosting the website which includes the IP address, the date and time of connection and the page you ask for. We use this information to ensure the security of our Sites. Some of these cookies help make the Sites work and deliver services that the website visitor expects, like navigating around web pages or accessing secure areas of the website.

| We use cookies to make advertising more engaging to users and more valuable to publishers and advertisers. Some common applications of these cookies are to select advertising based on what’s relevant to a user; to improve reporting on campaign performance; and, to avoid showing ads the user has already seen. We use cookies like NID and SID to help customize ads on Google websites and other online properties, like Google Search. Some uses include remembering your most recent searches, your previous interactions with an advertiser’s ads or search results, and your visits to an advertiser’s website. This helps us to show you customized ads. | _#sess, _#srchist, _#uid, _#vdf, __atuvc, __gads, __sonar, _ct_rmm, _ga, 1P_JAR, anj, APID, BizoID, bku, c, Doubleclick (IDE), IDE, IDSYNC, KRTBCOOKIE_10, lidc, loc, mus, na_id, na_tc, NID, pgn_eventId, pgn_tparty, pgnData, PUBMDCID, PugT, rpx, ssc, ssh, sshs, taboola_usg, uid, uvccas_perm | Advertising |

Interest-Based Advertisements
Some of our Sites engage in online interest-based advertising to enhance your experience and show you advertisements that might interest you. Like many organizations, we and our advertising partners display tailored interest-based advertising using information you make available to us when you interact with our Sites. Interest-based ads, also sometimes referred to as personalized or targeted ads, are displayed to you based on information from activities such as searching on our Sites or visiting websites that contain our content or ads. We do this using a variety of digital marketing networks and ad exchanges, and we use a range of advertising technologies like web beacons, pixels, ad tags, cookies, and mobile identifiers.
To learn more about interest-based ads or to opt out of receiving third-party interest-based ads, please visit http://optout.aboutads.info or www.youronlinechoices.eu. Please note that if you opt out of interest-based advertising, you will still see advertisements – they will just not be tailored to your interests. Also, note that deleting browser cookies can remove the cookie preferences you have made, so you may need to opt out again in the future.
Blocking Cookies
Should you choose to decline or block cookies by adjusting your browser settings, including cookies essential to the Sites. Please note that all or parts of our Sites may not be functional or accessible to you. Our Sites will issue cookies as soon as you visit the Sites, unless your browser cookie settings are adjusted to prevent such an occurrence. Please review the information provided in this cookie policy on adjusting cookie settings for the browser of your choice.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to help operate our Sites more efficiently, to gather demographic information, and to monitor the level of activity of our Sites. For information on how Google uses data from sites that share information with Google, see https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ (or other relevant URL that Google may provide from time to time). You can prevent the use of Google Analytics relating to your use of our Sites by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at this link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
Managing Cookies on Our Sites
CEPRES International University is committed to providing you with choices regarding the use of cookies on our Sites. You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Please bear in mind that removing or blocking cookies can impact your user experience and some functionality of our Sites may no longer be available.
Browser Controls:
Most browsers allow you to see what cookies you have and delete them on an individual basis or block cookies from particular or all websites. Be aware that any preferences will be lost if you delete all cookies, including preferences to opt-out from cookies as this itself requires an opt-out cookie to be set. For more information on how to modify your browser settings to block or filter cookies, see http://www.aboutcookies.org/ or http://www.cookiecentral.com/faq/.
Do Not Track:
Some browsers have incorporated “Do Not Track” (DNT) features. Most of these features, when turned on, send a signal or preference to the websites you visit, indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. Those sites (or third-party content on those sites) may continue to engage in activities you may view as tracking even though you have expressed this preference, depending on the site’s privacy practices. Given the lack of common understanding of DNT signals, CEPRES International University does not currently respond to DNT signals on our Sites.
Advertising Controls:
You can opt-out of being targeted by certain advertising networks online by visiting the following sites:
- Network Advertising Initiative (NAI)
- Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA)
- European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA)
Mobile Controls:
On your mobile device, you may have controls that allow you to opt out of certain types of interest-based advertising, including so-called “cross-app” advertising, by using settings and controls on your mobile device. For example, you can use the “Limit Ad Tracking” setting (for iOS devices) or the “Opt out of Interest-Based Ads” (for Android) option that allows you to limit the use of information about your use of apps for purposes of serving ads targeted to your interests.

When we make changes, we will update the “Effective Date” at the top of the policy and post it on our Sites. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
