What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.
Cookies perform many different functions such as remembering your language preferences or login details. These cookies are called "first-party cookies" and are set by the website owner. We may also use "third-party cookies" – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts.
How We Use Cookies
Sydney Film Academy uses cookies for several purposes, including:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable you to navigate our site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.
- Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don't collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how our website works. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.
- Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customise.
- Targeting or Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers.
Specifically, the cookies we use fall into the following categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies: These are required for the operation of our website. For example, they include cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website, use a shopping cart or make use of e-billing services.
- Analytical/performance cookies: They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
- Functionality cookies: These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
- Targeting cookies: These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.
