What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Website owners widely use cookies to make their websites work efficiently and to provide reporting information.
First-party cookies are set by the website owner (in this case, CHE Academy). Third-party cookies are set by parties other than the website owner. These third-party cookies enable external features or functionality on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.
Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use both first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are technically required for our Platform to operate; we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies allow us to track and target user interests to enhance the experience on our Platform. Third parties also serve cookies through our Platform for analytics, advertising, and other purposes.
Below, we detail the specific types of first-party and third-party cookies served through our Platform and their purposes.
Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for you to browse the CHE Academy Platform and use its features, such as accessing secure areas or making payments. Without these cookies, services like logging in or adding courses to your cart cannot be provided.
- Examples: Session cookies that maintain your login state, security cookies to prevent fraudulent activity.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how you use our Platform, such as which pages you visit most often and if you encounter error messages. This information is aggregated and anonymous; it does not identify you directly. We only use it to improve how our Platform works.
- Examples: Google Analytics cookies to track website traffic and user behavior (anonymized where possible), cookies to monitor page load times.
Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow our Platform to remember choices you make (like your username, language, or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also provide services you’ve requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your Browse activity on other websites.
- Examples: Cookies that remember your course progress, preferences for notifications.
Advertising/Targeting Cookies
These cookies deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They also limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Advertising networks usually place them with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website, and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.
- Examples: Cookies used by third-party advertising platforms (e.g., Google Ads, Facebook Ads) to show you relevant advertisements for CHE Academy courses after you’ve visited our site.
