TeachAids Cookies Policy
To enhance your experience on TeachAids’ websites, we and third parties may use cookies and other tracking technologies on TeachAids’ websites.
Cookies. Cookies are small text files that are placed in your computer’s browser to store your preferences. Cookies may be associated with a unique identification number tied to your computer or device so that you can be recognized as the same user across one or more browsing sessions, and across one or more websites.
Cookies serve many useful purposes. Analytics cookies store information about what pages people visit, how long they are on the site, how they got there, and what they click on. Information supplied by analytics cookies helps TeachAids analyze the profile of visitors and provide them with a better experience.
If you want to control which cookies you accept, you may be able to configure your browser to accept all cookies or to alert you every time a cookie is offered by a website’s server. Most browsers automatically accept cookies. Please consult your browser settings or options for information about the choices you have to not receive cookies and/or delete existing cookies from your browser. You may find that some parts of this website will not function properly if you have refused cookies.
Other Technologies. Other Internet technologies include web beacons, which are small bits of code that are embedded in web pages, ads, and e-mail and that communicate with third parties. For example, we may use web beacons to count the number of users who have visited a particular web page or opened a particular e-mail. As another example, we may use local shared objects or HTML 5 local storage to help the Services function.
Do Not Track. Some web browsers may transmit “do not track” signals to the websites and other online services with which the browser communicates. There is no standard that governs what, if anything, websites should do when they receive these signals. TeachAids currently does not take action in response to these signals. If and when a standard for responding is established, TeachAids may revisit its policy on responding to these signals.
Third Parties that Provide Content, Advertising, or Functionality. Third Parties that provide content, advertising, or functionality may collect or receive certain information about you and your use of TeachAids websites, including through the use of cookies and similar technologies. This information may be collected over time and combined with information collected across different websites and devices. For example, you may find embedded videos from external sites such as YouTube or Vimeo on TeachAids’ websites, and such third parties may collect information about you through third-party cookies and tracking technologies that are governed by the applicable third-party’s privacy policy. Visitors may learn about third-party cookies policies on the third-party website’s privacy pages. Some of these companies may participate in industry-developed programs designed to provide consumers choices about whether to receive targeted advertising.
