Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how the University of the Arts London Online
learning environment uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you
when you visit Moodle at https://online.arts.ac.uk/. It explains what
these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to
control our use of them.
In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that
becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile
device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners
in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well
as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, the University of the Arts
London) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than
the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies
enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through
the website (e.g., interactive content, and analytics).
Why do we use cookies?
We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are
required for technical reasons in order for our Moodle to operate, and we
refer to these as "essential". Other cookies also enable us to track and
monitor the use of moodle to help us improve technical stability of the
platform and also to contribute to improving the overall user experience.
How can I control cookies?
Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser
settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies
have been set, you can visit www.aboutcookies.org or
www.allaboutcookies.org.
Please be aware, moodle is an open source platform that utilises
multiple third-party plug-ins to facilitate the learning and teaching
experience. If you choose to switch off certain cookies it may impact on
the functionality of the moodle.
