What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text, image, data files, or tag code snippets containing small amounts of information that a Site – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you. . Cookies are then sent back to the originating Site on each subsequent visit, or to another Site that recognizes that cookie. The Cookies we use include session Cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, and persistent Cookies, which stay in your browser until they expire, or you delete them.

Why Do We Use Cookies?

The information we collect using Cookies help us to provide, protect and improve the ExecOnline products (“Products”) purchased by you or your company, and the Sites with which you interact.

  • Analytics and Research: to better understand how people use our Products and Site to improve them.
  • Recommendations and Promotions: to assist with our promotional and marketing efforts.

Types of Cookies We Use

Origin. Cookies are referred to as “first-party” if they are placed by a Site that is visited and “third-party” if they are placed by a party other than the visited Site (such as an advertiser or analytics system).

Duration. Additionally, “session Cookies” are temporary and expire once you close your browser (or once your session ends). “Persistent Cookies” remain on your hard drive until you erase them, or your browser does, depending on the cookie’s expiration date.
