Cookie Notice
Last Updated 31 March 2023
This Cookie Notice describes how ExamSoft uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and
store information when you visit our websites (collectively, “Websites”), and your choices regarding
those cookies. For additional information on our data processing, please visit our privacy policy.
About cookies:
A cookie is a small data file that is sent from a website and stored on the browser of your computer
or device. Cookies allow us to recognize your browser when you return to ExamSoft, to serve certain
features, and to better understand how you interact with ExamSoft.
Why we use cookies:
We use cookies for a variety of purposes, including to help us administer the Websites, remember
your preferences, and diagnose technical problems. We also use cookies to help us better
understand the nature of our user base, tailor our content, serve and evaluate the effectiveness of
our advertising and to understand for aggregate trends about how our Websites are used, to help
improve our Websites.
Types of Cookies and Our Legal Basis for Placing Cookies:
We may place both session and persistent cookies on your device. The difference between a session
and a persistent cookie relates to the length of time the cookie lasts. Session cookies are cookies
that typically last for as long as you are using your browser, or browser session. Persistent cookies
will last after you close your browser in accordance with different factors, including your browser
configuration and the lifespan of the particular cookie.
Our Website places first party cookies on your browser, and we allow third parties to also place
cookies on your device. The difference between a first party cookie and a third party cookie relates
to the control of the party who serves the cookie. A first party cookie is a cookie set by the Website
or domain you are visiting. A third party cookie is set by a domain other than the one you are
visiting, operated by a separate company (not by us). While we may allow third parties to access the
website to place these cookies on users’ devices, we do not retain control over the information
supplied by the cookies, nor do we retain access to that data. This information is controlled wholly
by that third party and subject to their privacy notice.
Cookies are further categorized as follows:
- Strictly necessary cookies: Strictly necessary cookies are required to browse our Websites
and use certain Website features. If you disable strictly necessary cookies, the functionality
of the Websites will be affected. Where applicable, the legal basis for the collection of
information through the use of strictly necessary cookies is legitimate interests of us or third
party service providers that help us operate the Websites. More information on the
balancing test supporting our legitimate interests is available upon request. - Functional cookies: Functional cookies enable us to store the selections and settings made
by you (for example, your country or account preferences). If you disable these cookies, the
functionality of the Websites may be affected. Where applicable, the legal basis for the
collection of information through functionality cookies is your consent. - Analytics and Advertising cookies: Analytics cookies allow us to collect information on how
our Websites are used and the nature of our user base. This includes whether a user has
visited the Websites previously, the overall Website usage, and areas that users prefer on
the Websites. This allows us to improve the performance of the Websites and your
experience. Advertising cookies provide us with some of the same information that we
collect from analytics cookies, and also allow us to serve advertising about our products that
we believe may interest to you after you have visited our Websites, and to measure the
effectiveness of our advertising. If you disable such cookies you will not receive advertising
based on your visits to our Websites. Where applicable, the legal basis for the collection of
such information by analytics and advertising cookies is your consent.
Disabling, Deleting, or Opting Out of Cookies:
To make choices about cookies placed by us or our third parties on our Websites, you may do so by
visiting our preference center. If you do not/no longer want to have cookies placed on your browser
by third parties, many of them also offer ways to opt out. Where possible, we have provided a link to
that opt out in the table below.
In addition, most web browsers allow at least some control of most cookies through browser
settings. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser to
decline cookies. You may also delete existing cookies through your browser.
However, please note that if you disable cookies, you may not be able to use the full functionality of
our Websites.
