We at CU Poratal understand that your privacy is important to you and are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. This Cookies Policy explains how and why cookies, web beacons, pixels, clear gifs, and other similar technologies (collectively, “Cookies”) may be stored on and accessed from your device when you use or visit our website https://colleges-universities.net/.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”). They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as “first party cookies”), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (“third party cookies”).

What types of Cookies do we use?

We use various types of Cookies for different purposes. Some Cookies are necessary for technical reasons; some enable a personalized experience for both visitors and registered users; and some allow the display of advertising from selected third party networks. Some of these Cookies may be set when a page is loaded, or when a visitor takes a particular action (clicking the “like” or “follow” button on a post, for example).

The specific types of first and third party Cookies served through our website and the purposes they perform are described in further detail below:
