Cookie Policy
Last updated: 14 January 2025This policy explains how corynthe uses tracking technologies on corynthe.com. We believe in transparency when it comes to data collection, so you'll find straightforward information here about what we track, why we do it, and how you can manage your preferences.
What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They help websites remember your preferences and understand how you interact with their content. Think of them as digital bookmarks that improve your browsing experience.
First-party cookies: Created directly by corynthe.com and stored on your device during your visit. We use these to remember your settings and understand how you navigate our learning resources.
Third-party cookies: Created by external services we partner with. These help us analyze site performance and understand broader usage patterns across different platforms.
Beyond traditional cookies, we also use local storage, session storage, and similar technologies. They all serve the same basic purpose — making your experience smoother and helping us understand what works well.
Types of Tracking We Use
We've organized our tracking into four categories. Each serves a specific purpose in maintaining and improving our educational platform.
Essential Operations
These keep corynthe.com running properly. Without them, basic features wouldn't work. You can't disable these through our settings, but your browser controls still apply.
Functional Enhancement
These remember your preferences and choices. They save you time by keeping your settings intact between visits and personalizing your learning journey.
Performance Analysis
These help us understand which content resonates with visitors. We analyze patterns to improve our educational resources and identify areas that need work.
Marketing Communication
These track how people find corynthe.com and which programs generate interest. They help us refine our outreach and connect with prospective students more effectively.
How We Apply These Technologies
Here's what actually happens when you browse our site. We're specific here because we think you deserve to know exactly what's being tracked.
Session management: We track your active session so you don't get logged out unexpectedly. This expires when you close your browser.
Learning progress: If you're exploring our program information, we remember which pages you've viewed so we can suggest relevant next steps.
Form data persistence: When you fill out inquiry forms, we temporarily store your entries so you don't lose everything if something goes wrong.
Traffic analysis: We measure how many people visit different sections and how long they stay. This tells us which content deserves more attention.
Campaign tracking: When you arrive from a specific marketing channel, we note that source. It helps us understand which outreach efforts connect with people.
Error monitoring: We log technical issues that occur during your visit. This helps our team fix problems quickly and prevent future disruptions.
None of this involves collecting personal financial information or sensitive personal details through cookies. The data we gather helps us run an educational website, not build detailed personal profiles.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Browser-Level Control
Every modern browser gives you control over cookies. You can block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete cookies after each session. Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies might break certain features on corynthe.com.
You'll find these settings in your browser's privacy or security section. The exact location varies, but they're typically easy to locate in your browser preferences.
Chrome and Edge
Navigate to Settings, then Privacy and Security. Select Cookies and Other Site Data to configure your preferences. You can block third-party cookies while allowing first-party ones.
Firefox
Open Settings and select Privacy & Security from the sidebar. Under Enhanced Tracking Protection, choose your desired level. Custom settings give you granular control.
Safari
Go to Preferences, then Privacy. You'll find options to prevent cross-site tracking and block all cookies. Safari blocks most third-party cookies by default.
Mobile browsers offer similar controls, usually found under Privacy or Site Settings within your browser app. The principles remain the same across devices.
Data Retention and Storage
How Long We Keep Cookie Data
Session cookies disappear immediately when you close your browser. We use these for temporary functions like maintaining your active session during a single visit.
Persistent cookies stick around for specific periods. Functional cookies might last up to 12 months so we can remember your preferences. Analytics cookies typically expire after 24 months, giving us long-term insights into site performance.
Marketing cookies generally expire within 90 days. This timeframe lets us evaluate campaign effectiveness without retaining data indefinitely.
You can delete all cookies manually through your browser at any time. This wipes the slate clean, though you'll need to reset any preferences you've configured on our site.
Third-Party Services
We partner with analytics providers and marketing platforms that operate their own tracking systems. These services follow their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review if you're interested in the details.
These partnerships help us understand site performance and reach prospective students effectively. We carefully select partners who maintain reasonable data practices, but we can't control their technologies directly.
Most analytics platforms offer opt-out mechanisms. Browser extensions like privacy-focused ad blockers can also limit third-party tracking across all websites you visit.
Updates to This Policy
We review and update this policy periodically as our practices evolve. Significant changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We might add new cookie categories as we introduce features or remove entries when we stop using certain technologies.
Checking back occasionally makes sense if you want to stay informed about our tracking practices. We don't send notifications about policy updates, so the responsibility falls on you to review changes.
