Cookie Policy

We use cookies and similar tools on our Edukey platforms (“Class Charts”, “Provision Map”, “Literacy Assessment Online”) to improve its performance and enhance your user experience. This policy explains how we do that.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files which a website may put on your computer or mobile device when you first visit a site or page. The cookie will help the website, or another website, to recognise your device the next time you visit. We use the term “cookies” in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way.

Certain cookies contain personal information – for example, if you click to “remember me” when logging in, a cookie will store your username. Most cookies will not collect information that identifies you, but will instead collect more general information such as how users arrive at and use our software.

What sort of cookies does Edukey use?

Generally, our cookies perform up to three different functions:

1. Essential cookies
   Some cookies are essential for the operation of our software. If you opt to disable these cookies, you will not be able to access or use all of the features that our software incorporates.
2. Performance Cookies
   We utilise other cookies to analyse how our visitors use our software and to monitor performance. This allows us to provide a high quality experience by customising our offering and quickly identifying and fixing any issues that arise. For example, we might use performance cookies to keep track of which pages are most popular, which method of linking between pages is most effective, and to determine why some pages are receiving error messages.
3. Functionality Cookies
   We use functionality cookies to allow us to remember your preferences. For example, cookies save you the trouble of typing in your username every time you use our software, and recall your customisation preferences.

Does anyone else use cookies on Edukey sites?

We do use or allow third parties to serve cookies that fall into the three categories above. For example, like many companies, we use Google Analytics to help us monitor our traffic. Please note we do not allow advertising on Edukey sites so there will be no cookies for this purpose.

Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualise and personalise the ads of its own advertising network.

You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity.

Edukey Education Ltd uses remarketing services to advertise on third party websites to you after you visited our Service. We and our third-party vendors use cookies to inform, optimise and serve ads based on your past visits to our Service.

Google Ads (AdWords) remarketing service is provided by Google Inc.

You can opt-out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising and customise the Google Display Network ads by visiting the Google Ads Settings page: http://www.google.com/settings/ads

Google also recommends installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on – https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout – for your web browser. Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on provides visitors with the ability to prevent their data from being collected and used by Google Analytics.

However, if you do wish to disable cookies then you can do so by amending the settings within your browser or mobile device. You can find the tools to manage cookies in the ‘preferences’ or ‘tools’ menu of your browser. Use the ‘Help’ option in your browser for more details if unsure.
