What is a cookie?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

Our cookies policy

To make full use of the features on the Premier Education site your computer or mobile device will need to accept cookies.
We don’t use cookies to store sensitive information, such as your name, address or payment details. They simply allow us to provide you with personalised features to make your visit to our website as smooth and relevant to you as possible. Some people dislike the idea of a website accessing and storing their data, and if that’s the case, you have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying the settings in your browser at any time. The ‘help’ function within your browser should tell you how, as will the ‘enabling/disabling cookies’ page on this site. However, you may not be able to use all the interactive features of our site if the cookies are disabled.

Types of cookie

First-party cookies

First-party cookies are set by the Premier Education website and they can only be read by that site. They can make your experience on the web more efficient by recording your browsing activities, such as which pages and content you’ve looked at, when you visited, what you searched for and whether you clicked on an ad.

Third-party cookies

Third-party cookies are set by a different organisation to the owner of the website you are visiting. This could be for advertising or analystics on the site you’re visiting, for example, or a site that contains embedded content, such as YouTube or Facebook. Those websites may send you cookies and they control the setting of those cookies, not the Premier Education site.

Session cookies

Session cookies are stored temporarily during a browsing session and are deleted from the user’s device when the browser is closed.

Persistent cookies

This type of cookie is saved on your computer for a fixed period and is not deleted when the browser is closed. These cookies are used to save your preferences so that they persist when you return to the website.

Flash cookies

Flash cookies work in a different way to web-browser cookies (first-party, third-party, session and persistent cookies are all set via your browser). Rather than having individual cookies for particular jobs, a flash website is restricted to storing all data in one cookie. You can control how much data can be stored in that cookie, but you cannot choose what type of information is allowed to be stored.

How can I control cookies?

You always have the right to decide whether you accept or reject non-essential cookies. Essential cookies can’t be refused, but you can block them using the links below, where you can exercise all your cookie preferences.

You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.

In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising.  If you would like to find out more information, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com.
