This policy was last updated on 16 March 2022 by James Hamilton. The following changes were committed: implemented plain language policy, added references to the DPA and POPIA, added reference to DIO and the Information Officer. These changes are considered minor.

What is a 'Cookie?'

It is a piece of data, in our case a string of text, that identifies your device. It is a unique identifier once you login to the site and by doing so you are sharing your personal information with us. A consequence of this is also that you are sharing 'special' personal information too by completing our courses and performing other actions on our site.

What information does our 'cookie' collect?

The cookie itself does not collect information but because it can uniquely identify you and your devices it is used, on this site, to:

  • Keep you logged into the site as you move from page to page,
  • Keeps a record of your navigation history for a time as detailed in our Privacy Policy (you will need to consent to this)
  • Allows us to identify you and serve personalised content to you, such as your own information.

How long is the information your cookie provides stored?

Depending on what we use the cookie for it is stored for one of the following time periods:

  • For as long as you are logged in we store your IP address and your login 'fingerprint' to keep you logged in.
  • For as long as you have consented us to keep your personal information, or;
  • For up to three years before your information is anonomized and used for statistical purposes.

Who else can access the 'cookie'?

For as long as you are logged in your cookie is stored on your browser and other websites may use it, for what ever reason they choose to use it according to their policies. We do try to ensue this doesn't happen, but not all sites are as transparent about their cookie use. If you aren't comfortable with that you can use our site on a browser that supports "private" modes, or block cookies all together (you'll need to login every time you click a link on our site as a consequence).

Where can I find more information?
