How to use this policy
This Cookie Policy applies to cookies and similar technologies that may be used when you access or use thecoursetable.com. It is intended to explain the topic in clear terms, while our Privacy Policy provides broader context about how personal information may be handled. This policy applies to our website itself and does not automatically describe the practices of unaffiliated websites that you may reach through a link.
Cookies are small text files that may be placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. They can allow limited information to be recognised on later requests or visits, which may help a website respond consistently. A cookie is not a program, and it does not by itself give a website access to your device. Whether cookies are used, and what information is involved, can depend on the page, feature and settings in use.
Similar technologies
Websites may also use related technologies, such as browser storage or tags, for comparable purposes. These technologies can assist with functions such as remembering a choice, supporting page delivery or understanding how a website performs. In this policy, we use the term “cookies” as a convenient collective term where appropriate. That wording does not mean every technology described here is necessarily used on every visit or in every part of the website.
Information involved
Information associated with cookie use may include browser or device details, language or display preferences, and indications of how a site is used. Depending on the circumstances and how information is combined, it may be personal information. For a wider explanation of information handling connected with the website, please read our Privacy Policy. This Cookie Policy is not intended to be an exhaustive inventory of technical data fields or implementation details.
03 · Website purposes
How we may use cookies
01
Operate and secure the website
Essential technologies may be used to support basic website operation, security, load handling and the reliable delivery of pages or requested functions. These uses can help a website respond as intended when a visitor moves between pages or asks for a particular service. If essential cookies are blocked or removed, some parts of a website may not function in the expected way. The precise effect can depend on the browser, device and feature being used.
02
Remember visitor choices
Preference technologies may help retain choices such as language, display settings or cookie choices where those features are available. Their purpose can be to make a return visit more convenient without requiring the same selection to be made again. Available preferences may vary according to your browser settings and the feature you are using. Removing relevant cookies may reset a remembered choice, rather than changing the underlying content of the website.
03
Understand website performance and use
Measurement technologies may help us understand how visitors move through pages, identify technical issues and consider ways to improve site content or performance. Information may be considered in aggregated or otherwise appropriate forms depending on the technology and purpose involved. This can assist with practical decisions, such as noticing where a page does not load reliably or where information is difficult to find. We do not identify a particular analytics supplier or measurement method in this policy.
04
Support embedded or linked services
Content or services supplied by third parties may use their own technologies when you choose to interact with them, subject to the settings and policies of those providers. This may arise where a visitor follows an external link or chooses to use a third-party service integrated with a website. Not every website page includes those services. Where applicable, you should review the relevant third party’s information before using its service.

Types of cookies and third-party technologies
Category
Plain-language purpose
Essential cookies
These are technologies that may be needed for core website functionality, security or service delivery. Blocking them in a browser may affect how a page or requested function works. Their role is practical: supporting the website’s operation rather than presenting a promotional feature.
Preference and functionality cookies
These technologies may remember settings or choices to make a return visit more convenient where relevant features are enabled. If they are removed, a browser may no longer retain a selected setting, and you may need to make that choice again on a later visit.
Performance and analytics cookies
These technologies may help assess website performance, discover errors and understand general interaction patterns so the website can be improved. This policy does not name providers, identifiers, reports or a specific method of measurement, because those implementation details are not set out here.
Third-party technologies
Third parties may set or read their own cookies when you access third-party content, follow an external link, or use a third-party service integrated with the website. Their practices are governed by their own policies and settings. TheCourseTable does not control third-party cookie practices in the same way it controls decisions made for its own website. Where a third-party service is relevant to your visit, consider reviewing that provider’s privacy or cookie information before choosing to use it. Browser and device settings may also affect how third-party technologies operate.
05 · Practical controls
Your choices
Use available site controls
Where the website presents cookie choices or settings, you can use those controls to manage non-essential preferences. The availability and presentation of controls can vary with the feature, browser and device in use. This policy does not describe a particular button, provider or set of categories. If a relevant choice is presented during your visit, review the information shown there before confirming your preference.
Adjust browser or device settings
Most browsers and devices allow you to review, block or delete cookies through their settings. The route to those settings differs by browser, device and software version, so it is usually best to consult the help material for the browser or device you are using. You may be able to remove existing cookies, block future cookies, or set preferences for particular sites. Changes made in one browser may not automatically apply to another browser or device you use.
Manage third-party choices separately
You may need to use the relevant third party’s own controls or your browser and device settings to manage third-party technologies. A choice made for this website may not control technologies used by an independent provider. Because third-party practices are governed by that provider’s own information, review its policy and available controls where appropriate before interacting with its content or service.

We do not promise individual notifications or a particular revision process through this page, so the published policy and its effective date are the appropriate reference point.
