to disclose, which is collected by us on an individual basis, and (2) website
use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our
Website. The latter type of information may be considered personal
information to the extent it identifies you as an individual.
(1) Personal Information You Choose to Provide
If you choose to access the Website and/or to purchase certain products or
services from us, you may need to give personal information and/or
authorization for us to obtain your personal information from various

In addition to providing the foregoing information, when you enroll in our online
programs, we collect certain additional personal information, including, but not
limited to: which courses you have started and completed, your exchanges
with instructors and/or other users of the courses, and materials submitted to

(2) Website Use Information
We may collect certain types of information electronically when you interact
with our Website, emails, social media accounts, online advertising or through
technologies. The information helps us understand what actions you take on
the Website and allows the Website to work correctly.
Similar to other commercial websites, our Website utilizes a standard
technology called “cookies” (see explanation below, “What Are Cookies?”) and
web server logs to collect information about how our Website is used.
Information gathered through cookies and web server logs may include the
date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Website, and the
websites visited just before and just after our Website. This information is
collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information is associated with
you as an individual.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are a feature of web browser software that allows web servers to
recognize the computer used to access a website. Cookies are small pieces of
data that are stored by a user’s web browser on the user’s hard drive. Cookies
can remember what information a user accesses on one webpage to simplify
subsequent interactions with that website by the same user or to use the
information to streamline the user’s transactions on related webpages. This
makes it easier for a user to move from webpage to webpage and to complete
commercial transactions over the Internet. Cookies should make your online
experience easier and more personalized.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
We use website browser software tools such as cookies and web server logs
to gather information about our Website users’ browsing activities, in order to
constantly improve our Website and better serve our customers. This
information assists us to design and arrange our webpages in the most
user-friendly manner and to continually improve our Website to better meet
the needs of our customers and prospective customers.
Cookies help us collect important business and technical statistics. The
information in the cookies lets us trace the paths followed by users to our
Website as they move from one page to another. Web server logs allow us to
count how many people visit our Website and evaluate our Website’s visitor
capacity. We do not use these technologies to capture your individual email
address or any personally identifying information about you, although they do
permit us to send focused online banner advertisements or other such
responses to you.
Tracking Options
Certain websites require cookies to function efficiently. We may use cookies to
deliver advertising we believe is relevant to you and to link data collected
across other devices you use. You can adjust your settings to limit tracking or
decline cookies, but, as a result, you may not be able to use certain features

Collection Through Other Technologies, Third-Party Agencies, and Tracking
We may collect personal information through the following other technologies:
Online Interest-based Advertising. We may also allow a limited number of
trusted third parties, including our advertising agencies to install cookies on
your hard drive from our Website. The Website may include third-party
advertising and links to other websites which may be used to generate
personalized advertisements. Personalized ads, sometimes referred to as
interest-based or behavioral ads, are ads based upon information about you,
such as your page views on our Website, your information requests or
purchases on the Website. We do not provide any personal information to
advertisers or to third party sites that display interest-based ads on our
Website. However, advertisers and other third parties (including the ad
networks, ad-serving companies, and other service providers they may use)
may assume that users who interact with or click on a personalized ad or
content displayed on our Website are part of the group that the ad or content
is directed towards. Advertisers or ad companies working on their behalf
sometimes use technology to serve the ads that appear on our Website
directly to your browser. They may also use cookies to measure the
effectiveness of their ads and to personalize ad content. We do not have
access to or control over cookies or other features that advertisers and third
party websites may use, and the information practices of these advertisers
and third-party websites are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Please contact
them directly for more information about their privacy practices. You can also

Google Analytics: Our advertising agencies may use Google Analytics, which
allows them to see information on user website activities, including, but not
limited to, page views, source and time spent on our Website. This information
is depersonalized and is displayed as numbers, meaning that it cannot be
tracked back to individuals. You may opt out of our use of Google Analytics by

interactive plug-ins to enable social network features (e.g., to connect to

parties as well. Third parties involved may use these tracking methods such
as but not limited to cookies to achieve their own business goals and
purposes by relating and combining information about your usage of the Site
to any other personal information they may have collected on you. ABC may
also obtain and use analytical and statistical information from third-party social
networks to help it measure performance and effectiveness of content
displayed by ABC on social networks, for example, by measuring impressions
and clicks on the content ABC promotes.
Google Ads: ABC uses Google Ads Remarketing to advertise ABC across the
Internet and to advertise on third-party websites (including Google) to previous
visitors to the Site. Google Ads remarketing will display ads to you based on
what parts of the Site you have viewed by placing a cookie on your web
browser. It could mean that ABC advertises to previous visitors who haven’t
completed a task on the Site or this could be in the form of an advertisement
on the Google search results page, or a website in the Google Display
Network. This cookie does not in any way identify you or give access to your
computer or mobile device. The cookie is only used to indicate to other
websites that you have visited a particular page on the Site, so that they may
show you ads relating to that page. If you do not wish to participate in ABC’s
Google Ads Remarketing, you can opt out by visiting Google’s Ads
Preferences Manager. You may delete or disable certain of these technologies
at any time via your browser. However, if you do so, you may not be able to
use some of the features on our Website.
