Information about our use of cookies
This Cookie Policy is intended to inform you/the user about how ITPS (Canada) Ltd./ International Test Pilots School (“ITPS”, “we”, “our” or “us”) use technology in the form of “cookies” on our website https://itpscanada.com. This Cookie Policy is intended to assist you in making informed decisions when using our website. For any Personal Information collected through our use of cookies please also read our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies and what do they do?
A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
The term “cookie” also includes other similar technologies that store or access information on the user’s device. Information gathered through cookies may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, the browser software and operating system used to access the page, and the time spent on our website.
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 ITPS pages, or register with ITPS website or services, a cookie helps ITPS 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 website page, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the ITPS features that you customized.
For further details on cookies, please visit All About Cookies where you can find comprehensive information on cookies and similar relevant technologies.
