3. Categories of cookies we use
Cookies on our Website fall into the following categories. You can accept or reject most categories through our consent banner or your browser settings.
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the Website to function correctly. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure access, session management, and form submission. The Website cannot operate properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled in our consent system.
3.2 Functional cookies
These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced or personalised features. They are not strictly necessary, but disabling them may reduce the quality of your experience.
3.3 Analytics and performance cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Website by collecting anonymised information about pages visited, time spent, sources of traffic, and errors encountered. We use this information to improve the Website.
3.4 Marketing and advertising cookies
If we run advertising or retargeting campaigns, these cookies may be set by us or our advertising partners to deliver relevant ads on other websites and to measure the performance of our campaigns. They typically track your activity across multiple websites.
4. Third-party cookies
Some cookies on our Website are set by services we use to provide functionality, analytics, embedded content, or communication. These third parties may collect data about your visit, subject to their own privacy and cookie policies.
We currently use, or may use, the following third-party services that may set cookies:
We recommend that you review the privacy and cookie policies of these third parties to understand how they handle your data. AdmissionLabs is not responsible for the practices of third-party services.
5. How long cookies stay on your device
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a session cookie or a persistent cookie:
- Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. We use these mainly for security and basic functionality.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period (anywhere from a few minutes to several months or years) or until you delete them manually. Their lifespan is set by the entity that placed them.
The maximum lifespans for cookies on our Website are listed in the tables in Section 3. We endeavour not to use cookies that persist longer than is necessary for the purpose they serve.
6. Your choices and how to manage cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject most categories of cookies. You can exercise this right in several ways:
6.1 Through our consent banner
When you first visit our Website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by category. You can revisit your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer of the Website.
6.2 Through your browser settings
Most web browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies for any website. Detailed instructions are available in your browser’s help documentation:
- Google Chrome:
chrome://settings/cookies - Mozilla Firefox:
about:preferences#privacy - Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy
- Microsoft Edge:
edge://settings/privacy - Opera:
opera://settings/cookies
Please be aware that disabling all cookies may prevent parts of the Website from working correctly.
6.3 Through provider-specific opt-outs
Some third-party services offer their own opt-out tools:
- Google Analytics: install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
- Meta (Facebook/Instagram) advertising: facebook.com/settings?tab=ads
- Industry-wide ad opt-out: youronlinechoices.eu (EU) or aboutads.info/choices (US)
6.4 Through mobile device settings
On mobile devices, you can typically opt out of personalised advertising through your device settings (Apple iOS: Settings → Privacy → Tracking; Android: Settings → Google → Ads).
7. Consent and withdrawal of consent
For all cookies that are not strictly necessary, we rely on your consent to set them on your device. We obtain this consent through our cookie consent banner when you first visit the Website.
Your consent must be:
- Freely given — you can refuse without penalty;
- Specific — separate consent is requested for each category of cookies;
- Informed — we provide the information in this Cookie Policy before you decide;
- Unambiguous — a clear affirmative action, such as clicking “Accept”.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by:
- Clicking the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer of the Website and updating your choices;
- Clearing cookies through your browser settings (this will trigger the consent banner to appear again on your next visit);
- Contacting us directly using the details in Section 10.
Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before your withdrawal.
8. Do Not Track signals
Some browsers support a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal that allows users to express a preference not to be tracked across websites. There is currently no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and most websites — including ours — do not change their behaviour based on DNT alone.
Instead, we honour your tracking preferences through our cookie consent banner and the controls described in Section 6.
9. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, the services we rely on, or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will:
- Update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page;
- Re-display our cookie consent banner if the change affects categories of cookies you previously consented to;
- Where appropriate, notify you by email or a prominent notice on the Website.
We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
