Use of Cookies

The Wilt­shire Col­lege & Uni­ver­si­ty Cen­tre Web site use ​“cook­ies” to help you per­son­al­ize your online expe­ri­ence. A cook­ie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page serv­er. Cook­ies can­not be used to run pro­grams or deliv­er virus­es to your com­put­er. Cook­ies are unique­ly assigned to you, and can only be read by a web serv­er in the domain that issued the cook­ie to you.

One of the pri­ma­ry pur­pos­es of cook­ies is to pro­vide a con­ve­nience fea­ture to save you time. The pur­pose of a cook­ie is to tell the Web serv­er that you have returned to a spe­cif­ic page. For exam­ple, if you per­son­al­ize Wilt­shire Col­lege & Uni­ver­si­ty Cen­tre pages, or reg­is­ter with Wilt­shire Col­lege & Uni­ver­si­ty Cen­tre site or ser­vices, a cook­ie helps Wilt­shire Col­lege & Uni­ver­si­ty Cen­tre to recall your spe­cif­ic infor­ma­tion on sub­se­quent vis­its. This sim­pli­fies the process of record­ing your per­son­al infor­ma­tion, such as billing address­es, ship­ping address­es, and so on. When you return to the same Wilt­shire Col­lege and Uni­ver­si­ty Cen­tre Web site, the infor­ma­tion you pre­vi­ous­ly pro­vid­ed can be retrieved, so you can eas­i­ly use the Wilt­shire Col­lege & Uni­ver­si­ty Cen­tre fea­tures that you customized.

We also use cook­ies and sim­i­lar tools to col­lect infor­ma­tion from our web­site vis­i­tors to analyse our web­site usage and to mar­ket our rel­e­vant cours­es and ser­vices to you. Such infor­ma­tion includes the refer­rer URL, brows­er type, IP address and the date, time and dura­tion of the vis­it. We also share infor­ma­tion about our vis­i­tors use of the site with our social media, mar­ket­ing and ana­lyt­ics part­ners to sup­port this analy­sis of our web­site usage and mar­ket­ing to our users.

You have the abil­i­ty to accept or decline cook­ies. Most Web browsers auto­mat­i­cal­ly accept cook­ies, but you can usu­al­ly mod­i­fy your brows­er set­ting to decline cook­ies if you pre­fer. If you choose to decline cook­ies, you may not be able to ful­ly expe­ri­ence the inter­ac­tive fea­tures of the Wilt­shire Col­lege & Uni­ver­si­ty Cen­tre ser­vices or Web sites you visit.
