2.What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files or similar technologies that are placed on or accessed from your device when you visit a website.

They can help a website:

• remember information;
• keep a website secure;
• maintain your session;
• remember your preferences;
• understand how the website is being used; or
• support marketing and advertising activities.

The term "cookies" in this policy also includes other technologies that perform similar functions, such as tracking pixels, scripts, tags, web storage and similar technologies where applicable.

UK privacy rules can apply to these technologies even when they are not technically cookies.

3.How We Use Cookies

UniSphere may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes.

A. Strictly Necessary Technologies

These technologies are required for the website or a service requested by you to function properly.

They may be used for purposes such as:

• website security;
• maintaining a session;
• remembering essential website settings;
• enabling forms or requested website functionality;
• preventing abuse or fraudulent activity; and
• supporting the technical operation of the website.

Where a technology is genuinely strictly necessary, consent may not be required under the applicable rules.

We will only treat a technology as strictly necessary where it meets the applicable legal requirements.

B. Preference Technologies

These technologies may allow the website to remember choices or preferences you have made, such as certain display or functionality preferences.

Where consent is required, these technologies will only be used after you provide the appropriate consent.

C. Analytics and Performance Technologies

Where used, analytics technologies help us understand how visitors interact with the website.

For example, they may help us understand:

• which pages are visited;
• how visitors navigate the website;
• which website features are used;
• general website performance;
• whether pages or features are working properly; and
• how we can improve the website.

Analytics technologies are not automatically treated as strictly necessary simply because they help us improve our website. Where consent is required, we will obtain consent before using them.

D. Marketing and Advertising Technologies

Where applicable, UniSphere may use marketing or advertising technologies to understand the effectiveness of our marketing activities or to help us deliver relevant advertising.

These technologies may include technologies provided by third-party advertising or social-media platforms.

Where consent is legally required, these technologies will not be activated unless you have provided the appropriate consent.

You can change or withdraw your choices at any time through our cookie settings.

4.Third-Party Technologies

Some cookies or similar technologies may be provided by organisations other than UniSphere.

For example, we may use third-party services for:

• website analytics;
• advertising and marketing;
• social-media features;
• appointment or booking functionality;
• video or other embedded content;
• website security;
• performance monitoring; or
• other website functionality.

Where third-party technologies are used, the relevant third party may process information in accordance with its own privacy information and terms.

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that third-party technologies used on our website are appropriately identified and managed.

Where consent is required, we will obtain the necessary consent before the relevant technology is activated.

5.Your Cookie Choices

When you first visit our website, where required, you will be provided with information about our use of cookies and similar technologies and given appropriate choices.

Depending on the technologies being used, you may be able to:

• accept all non-essential cookies;
• reject non-essential cookies; or
• choose which categories of non-essential technologies you allow.

We will not use non-essential storage or access technologies before obtaining the consent required by law.

You can also change or withdraw your consent later through the cookie settings provided on our website.

Your ability to withdraw consent should be as easy as giving it.

6.Rejecting Cookies

You can choose not to allow certain cookies or similar technologies.

If you reject or withdraw consent for non-essential technologies, you can continue to use the website, although some optional features or functionality may not work as intended.

Strictly necessary technologies may continue to operate where they are required to provide the website or a service you have requested.

7.Browser Settings

You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Most modern browsers allow you to:

• block cookies;
• delete existing cookies;
• allow cookies;
• block third-party cookies; or
• receive warnings before certain cookies are stored.

However, browser controls do not necessarily provide the same level of choice as our website's cookie-management system.

8.How Long Cookies Remain

Cookies and similar technologies may be either:

Session-based — these normally expire when you close your browser; or

Persistent — these remain on your device for a defined period or until they are deleted.

The length of time a particular technology remains active depends on its purpose and the provider involved.

We aim to use appropriate retention periods and will review cookie technologies periodically.

9.Cookie Information and Updates

The exact cookies and similar technologies used by UniSphere may change as our website and services develop.

We may therefore update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect:

• changes to our website;
• new technologies;
• changes to third-party services;
• changes to our marketing or analytics arrangements; or
• changes in applicable law or regulatory guidance.

Where required, we will also update our cookie consent mechanism and obtain fresh consent where the purpose or use of a technology changes in a way that requires it.

10.Relationship With Our Privacy Notice

Cookies and similar technologies may involve the collection or processing of personal information.

Where this happens, our Privacy Notice also applies.

Our Privacy Notice explains more broadly:

• what personal information we collect;
• why we use it;
• our legal bases;
• who we may share it with;
• how long we retain it;
• your data protection rights; and
• how to contact us.

11.Children's and Young People's Use

UniSphere's services may be used by students and prospective students of different ages.

We do not intentionally use cookies or similar technologies to collect unnecessary personal information from children.

Where additional safeguards are required by applicable law or guidance, we will take appropriate steps.

12.Your Privacy Rights

Where information collected through cookies or similar technologies constitutes personal information, you may have rights under applicable UK data protection law.

These may include rights relating to:

• access;
• correction;
• deletion;
• restriction;
• objection;
• portability; and
• withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent.

Further information is available in our Privacy Notice.

14.Our Approach

UniSphere aims to use cookies and similar technologies responsibly.

We will seek to:

• use only technologies that are appropriate for their purpose;
• clearly explain what they do;
• obtain consent where legally required;
• respect users' choices;
• provide a practical way to change or withdraw consent; and
• review our use of cookies as our website develops.

Our goal is to provide a useful website without collecting or tracking more information than is reasonably necessary.
