COOKIES

Cookies are used to track how our visitors use this Site, to determine sites previously visited or to facilitate the use of secure portions of this Site. A cookie is a simple text file that is stored on your computer or mobile device by a website’s server to monitor your use of that website. Most websites you visit will use cookies in order to improve your user experience by enabling that website to ‘remember’ you, either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’).

BizTech College may use cookies for the following reasons:

• Monitor our Site usage and improve the performance of our Site; for example, cookies help us remember who you are through your browser settings so that we can offer and provide more personalized content such as your font text size preference.
• Save passwords and/or preferences for you so that you will not have to re-enter them the next time you visit the Site.
• Compile user traffic and demographic statistics related to the Site (for example, number of users, page views, location you are coming from, average time spent on the Site, etc.). This information helps us to better understand when to update, change or offer new navigation or content. The cookies we use do not allow us to identify individuals.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS

BizTech College uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc., to measure traffic patterns to, from, and within our Site. Google Analytics uses “first party” cookies, which are text files placed on your computer, to help analyze how users use the Site. Google Analytics uses “session” and “persistent” cookies to collect standard Internet log information and to track visitor behaviour information, in an anonymous form, and compile statistical reports on site activity.

The information generated by the cookies about your use of the Site (including your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers outside Canada. No personal, identifying information is recorded or provided to Google. As well, Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. Furthermore, BizTech College uses the Google Analytics scripting call to remove the last octet from IP Addresses before the data is transmitted to Google.

BizTech College uses the statistical reports generated by Google Analytics to help us make our Site more useful to visitors. Reports are made available only to Web Services and other designated staff who require this information to perform their website maintenance and enhancement duties.

Google Analytics is not used to track visitor behaviour on any of our secure sites.
