Innovate Academy Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy explains how Innovate Academy ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, https://www.innovateacademy.com/ (the "Platform"). This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides further details about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies enable the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
How We Use Cookies
At Innovate Academy, we use cookies for a variety of purposes, including:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the Platform to function properly. They enable you to navigate the site, access secure areas, and use essential features such as accessing your course materials.
- Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Platform, such as which pages are visited most often and if they receive error messages from web pages. We use this information to improve how our Platform works and to provide a better user experience.
- Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our Platform to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog.
- Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. These cookies are usually placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.
- Analytics Cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use this information to analyze trends, administer the site, track users' movements around the site, and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.
