Cookies Policy

Access to this Website may involve the use of cookies. Cookies are small amounts of information stored in the browser used by each User—across the different devices they may use to browse—so that the server remembers certain information that only the server that implemented it will later read. Cookies facilitate browsing, make it more user-friendly, and do not damage the browsing device.

Cookies are automatic procedures for collecting information regarding the preferences set by the User during their visit to the Website in order to recognize them as a User and personalize their experience and use of the Website. They can also help, for example, to identify and resolve errors.

The information collected through cookies may include the date and time of visits to the Website, the pages viewed, the time spent on the Website, and the sites visited just before and after it. However, no cookie allows this information to be linked to the User’s phone number or any other personal contact method. No cookie can extract information from the User’s hard drive or steal personal information. The only way private information could be part of a cookie file is if the User personally provides that information to the server.

Cookies that allow the identification of a person are considered personal data. Therefore, the Privacy Policy previously described will apply to them. In this sense, the use of such cookies will require the User’s consent. This consent will be communicated based on a genuine choice, offered through an affirmative and positive decision, before initial processing, and will be removable and documented.

First-party Cookies
These are cookies sent to the User’s computer or device and managed exclusively by English Connection for the better operation of the Website. The information collected is used to improve the quality of the Website and its Content, as well as the User experience. These cookies allow the User to be recognized as a returning visitor to the Website and adapt the content to offer content according to their preferences.

Third-party Cookies
These are cookies used and managed by external entities that provide English Connection with services requested to improve the Website and the user experience while browsing the Website. The main objectives for using third-party cookies are to gather access statistics and analyze browsing information, that is, how the User interacts with the Website.

The information obtained may refer, for example, to the number of pages visited, the language, the location from which the User’s IP address accesses, the number of Users accessing, the frequency and recurrence of visits, the time spent, the browser used, the operator, or the type of device from which the visit is made. This information is used to improve the Website and detect new needs to offer Users optimal quality Content and/or services. In any case, the information is collected anonymously, and website trend reports are created without identifying individual users.

The entity/entities responsible for providing cookies may transfer this information to third parties, as long as required by law or when a third party processes this information for these entities.

Social Media Cookies
English Connection incorporates social media plugins that allow access to them from the Website. For this reason, social media cookies may be stored in the User’s browser. The owners of these social networks have their own privacy and cookie policies and are themselves responsible for their files and privacy practices. The User should refer to these policies to learn about such cookies and, if applicable, the processing of their personal data.

Disabling, rejecting, and deleting cookies
The User can disable, reject, and delete cookies—totally or partially—installed on their device by configuring their browser settings (such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Explorer). In this regard, the procedures for rejecting and deleting cookies may vary from one Internet browser to another. Therefore, the User should refer to the instructions provided by the Internet browser they are using. If the use of cookies is rejected—totally or partially—the User may still use the Website, although the use of some features may be limited.
